This stunning property offers a serene escape with beautiful views, spacious accommodations, and thoughtful amenities for families, including a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of activities for kids.

Positive: Location, room, game console
Negative: The only thing was the one window A/C did not keep the place cool enough. And it was a HOT weekend.

It is a beautiful home, quiet, very clean and comfortable.  Porches are so nice to sit out on at night or with morning coffee. We enjoyed coming home to it every night. Check in is super easy. The stars at night are awesome. The deer in the morning and evening are a delight. It has one of the best stocked kitchens I have ever been in. They had EVERYTHING!  The only downside was you have to go a mile down a gravel road.  Not great if you have a rental car. That said, I would stay there again. I would also stay at any of their other properties as they really want to make sure you have a good vacation and were very responsive to any questions or comments I had. Thanks J and J.

This location is amazing, beautiful views in every direction and you feel way outside the city for quiet and privacy, yet you are less than 10 min from downtown.   Huge decks with lots of seating make being outside in the sun or shade easy.   It’s basically two houses rolled into one, so multi families can stay and have their own kitchens.  

Would definitely book again !

What a beautiful home and location! Very private and peaceful. The home was spotless and just as described. Very comfortable couches and beds! Responsive and friendly hosts. We will definitely be back!  5 stars all around!!
