Wish we had more time to enjoy the amenities and nature all around you. Thankful for the flexible check in and check out times. Appreciated the owners reaching out before to let us know about the dirt road and driveway.

Peaceful and Private=Amazing

This home is exactly what we were looking for. Its in the middle of a state forest with hiking trails nearby. Our dogs had the time of their lives exploring right outside on the huge property. We didn't get a chance to use the fire pit that they graciously had set up with wood for us due to rain but we took advantage of listening to the rain and wind chimes while sipping hot chocolate and playing Yahtzee on the covered back porch. I can't say enough about the property and the host. Shawn takes pride in her property and has thought of everything one would need and has it on hand. From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. The pictures of this house does not do it justice. Shawn was exceptional at communicating and checked on us to see if there was anything we needed.

Beautiful, quiet stay

Shawn was an absolutely amazing host and communicated very well. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were so comfortable. The property was beautiful. We enjoyed the games on the back porch and the view of the forest and wildlife all around. Shawn left snacks and drinks and even went above and beyond to get ice for us because we were leaving early in the mornings for a fishing tournament. The bonfire was set up ready to go with all the fixings to make s’mores! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Thank you Shawn for sharing your beautiful home and property with us.
