Seclusion!
It was my wife and I and our two dogs. One of our dogs is a lab mix and she took every opportunity to get in the water. She quickly learned the location of steps for easy access. We did experience one hiccup and that was the sporadic hot water. I called Veronica and the next thing I know, the maintenance guy shows up and troubleshoots the tankless water heater. Come to find out, it was spider webs preventing a full heating. All in all, this place is absolutely gorgeous and is very secluded.

Fall weekend getaway
A beautiful location on the creek with large shady trees. We watched deer, squirrels, and birds while we sat around the wonderful fire pit on the stone patio. The beds were comfy, bathrooms and kitchen are small but clean…the master bath does have a tub and more room. Perfect for parents, and grown children to stay. We will be back!

Beautiful & Serene
Had a lovely weekend here with friends. Everything was as described. The house and setting were gorgeous, and the creek was a lifesaver in the heat.
