We enjoyed how warm and welcoming the home was. It was a very comfortable stay for my entire family. The kitchen area provided everything we needed and the gazebo outside was a great place to visit with friends and family. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone visiting the area.

We had an excellent stay and couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing getaway! The property was peaceful, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. It was incredibly family-friendly, with plenty of space and activities for everyone to enjoy together.We especially loved spending time fishing in the pond, relaxing by the fire in the evenings, and wandering around looking for bullfrogs after dark. Those simple moments made for some wonderful family memories. The setting was beautiful, quiet, and the perfect place to unplug and enjoy nature.The host was wonderful, and everything was exactly as described. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to families or anyone looking for a peaceful, enjoyable retreat.

We had a wonderful stay and made memories that our family will cherish for years to come\. The house and grounds were absolutely beautiful and were perfect for a family with children\. Our grandkids enjoyed every moment of their time there\.The home was exceptionally clean, including the bedding, and the interior was both charming and practical\. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and all of the appliances worked perfectly\.The outdoor space was spectacular\. In the evening, the landscape lighting created such a peaceful atmosphere that I found myself relaxing outside late into the night with my family\. It was truly one of the highlights of our stay\.We only had a few minor disappointments, none of which would keep us from recommending this property:- The tap water had a metallic taste, making it unpleasant for brushing teeth and showering\.- A corkscrew was missing from the kitchen \(a small thing, but we definitely noticed it\! \)\.- The fire pits had not been cleaned\.- The BBQ grill could have been cleaner\.- On our check\-in day, I reached out to the contact person to ask whether an early check\-in might be possible, but I never received a response\.Overall, these were relatively minor issues compared to what an exceptional property this is\. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it to families looking for a beautiful, comfortable place to gather and make lasting memories.

Awesome Experience!

We were looking for a place to really relax and unwind and this was it!This beautiful location has everything you could possibly ask for because even though it is secluded, it has all the amenities to make your stay extremely comfortable. The house is a true gem—beautifully renovated, immaculately clean, and fully stocked. It was the perfect size for our family of four, with plenty of room to spare.The pond was the real revelation! We spent hours floating in our kayaks (something we'd never done before) and were constantly surrounded by massive, colorful butterflies.The pre-made fire pits were great for making smores and the propane grill meant no cooking needed to be done!We had planned to visit the state park nearby but honestly, it was so relaxing here that we never went anywhere but to the pond and back.This really was an amazing find and we will definitely be back next year!

This pet friendly property was fantastic. The most relaxing vacation I have ever had! Love the pizza oven and the gas grill on the gazebo. We saw so many incredible birds including a blue heron, an osprey, and a bald eagle! The pond is lovely and very peaceful. We enjoyed seeing deer stop by each evening. We are planning to return in September.
