Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Guests like you make hosting a pleasure — you’re welcome back anytime!
We loved the uniqueness of the home. The high ceilings made the place feel enormous. The hosts were incredibly responsive to an issue that we had and resolved it quickly! We were in town for a family reunion in the area. All of the local family was very intrigued by the renovations and in awe over the transformation of a place they knew for so many years. One little drawback was the well water. The description was clear about having well water and there could be a slight smell. To us it was a little more than a slight smell. Drinking water was provided which was much appreciated. The well water is not a total deal breaker, but I am glad we knew in advance.

Beautiful Interior, Quiet Surroundings, Lots of Open Space
Check-in was incredibly easy and we were absolutely blown away by the interior! It was very open and spacious allowing my two boys plenty of room to stretch out. They LOVED the tic-tac-toe game as well as the chess/checkers set and the piano! Living room area had comfortable seating, nice TV and the kitchen was equipped with all the common staple items. Bedrooms were very nice as well with each of them having more than enough room. Bathrooms were great with plenty of towels and they even had some extra things there (toothbrush, toothpaste, and an amenities box) which is great if you found you forgot something. Outside area was also very nice. Overall we were more than pleased with this stay and would highly recommend it to anyone. Owners communication was great and although we didn't have any issues while at the property I feel they would have been very responsive had we needed to contact them.
