The home has three spacious rooms with queen beds, and one room with two twin beds.

Our home is run as sustainably as possible with 100% non-toxic cleaning products, water sourced from our own well,  filtered through a Culligan system, drinking water filtered through an AquaTru reverse osmosis filter, and organic cotton linens used, where possible.

We are committed to protecting our properties which is why we've partnered with Know Your Guest, the leading vacation rental guest-screening provider.  

Please note that before your booking begins, you will need to verify your details through Know Your Guest.  You will also be given the choice between paying a refundable deposit or buying a non-refundable damage waiver. We suggest you buy the damage waiver as this protects you in case you cause accidental damage during a booking.

Enjoy complete privacy and the beauty of the outdoors with our entire home and access to 5-acres of the property. A portion of the land is currently leased to our neighbor for sheep grazing, adding to the pastoral charm of the surroundings.

We want to ensure that our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay, which is why we are available to offer assistance throughout your visit.

Ali’s place was lovely! Super house, in a lovely area. Super peaceful and nice. The beds were all super comfortable, and the house looked just like the pictures! When we come in the area again, we will definitely be booking the place again!

Stayed at Ali’s place while attending a nearby wedding. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, with amenities clearly labeled!

Great location, great host! Very close to Skyline Drive. Water is from the well. Huge land with a fig tree.

This large home is very private in the beautiful countryside. There is plenty of space to spread out , if needed.

I loved my stay here. So serene and peaceful.  Beautiful and comfortable and like home away from home.
