This property is at the top of our list of vacation rentals where we've stayed. We will definitely return!Everything was fresh and clean. Beautifully arranged both inside and out. The kitchen was fully appointed, the two porches and outdoor patio provided extra seating areas, and we slept like babies on the mattresses!Our host was was exceptional. She provided great directions and suggestions for restaurants and shopping in the area. Staying here was a great experience all around.

Delightful get away.

Rhonda’s place is simply charming. From the moment you pull up to the house you’re transported to a magical experience. Coming from the desert in Arizona, we loved sitting outside either in the front or the back - able to enjoy the sunrise or sunset.

Back for a second time!

The home is everything that it is advertised to be, and the location cannot be better. Beats a hotel by a mile! Our group of 5 was very comfortable. The owner Rhonda is great, very considerate and responsive.
