Great Place to stay!

This house was a perfect layout for our needs. Every morning and evening, we enjoyed the views from the awesome front porch. And a big thank you for the least fussy packup rules I have experienced

Eclipse Trip

This property feels like a real home. It’s spacious and neat, has lovely furniture and decor. The kitchen is clean and well equipped, the bedrooms are comfortable and the common areas are welcoming and adaptable to our needs. We had several group meals and games and everyone enjoyed the big cozy couch and large dining table. The host was a pleasure to work with. People noticed how clean it was, and mentioned the quality of the furnishings and kitchen tools. There are also multiple outdoor spaces to accommodate all our needs. Very cozy, lots of lovely trees, flowers and birds. The layout gave our three couples plenty of privacy and also opportunity for group activities
