Perfect stay for multi-family gathering

We had a group of 10 adults and 1 teenager and it was the perfect house for our gathering. The house is 3 floors with plenty of beds and rooms for all of us. There was an area on the third floor for the young adults to play games. The house was spotless and had everything we could need. I would highly recommend this house for large family gatherings.

Clean fun stay

Really liked this place and property. Plenty of beds for everyone and well equipped kitchen. Clean and lots of bedding and blankets. Only small challenge was a slow dishwasher and the request to have all dishes clean dry and put away before checkout. Would prefer to start a dishwasher load just before checking out.

Jensen Wedding/ Family Reunion 2023

We had a little backyard family get-together/small wedding and the cabin was perfect! Large enough to hold our family plus some more family who rented out the small cabin on the property and a camper! We had enough room to put a tent up for our reception and plenty of room for parking! We will definitely being coming back, we couldn't of asked for a better place or better owners, Jane and her husband are lovely people and so easy to get along with and who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could of possibly needed. Honestly, I still can't get over how perfect this weekend was!
