Nice, clean place with tons of space
The trails were great - really enjoyed the property. It rained quite a bit, but the Internet was fast, easy access to the house, and not too far from town, but still lots of privacy.

Great retreat
This was a lovely secluded house that we enjoyed “getting away” to. Very clean, kitchen had all the things we needed (cookware, tableware), and even a well maintained trail through the property. We saw deer and turkeys from inside the house and lots of different birds.
