We had a fantastic experience! The location is perfect—just minutes from everything in Grafton, yet tucked away in a peaceful, quiet setting. We saw deer every day, which made the mornings, and evenings extra special. The owners were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend booking with them—you won’t be disappointed!

One of the best VRBO’s I have stayed in! The condo was tastefully decorated, and immaculate. The views were stunning and we had fun times out the pool. Michelle is an incredibly responsive post.
