This was a very cute place to stay. The owners were very quick to respond when we had a chirping detector but turned out to be nothing. I would definitely stay there again.

This was the perfect getaway weekend. The house was extremely cozy, under the TV is an electric fireplace with a fan that sets the perfect mood for getting comfy and watching a movie. The kitchen was well stocked and we used it for meals. We will definitely be back.

Such a great spot for a family weekend! Julie went way above and beyond with communication, kindness and her home is the perfect place for a family weekend. Very clean, so nice and plenty of room for two families in town to bike and hike for the weekend. We loved the themed rooms and details; clearly, so much love and thought went into this home and we had an amazing time. We’ll definitely be back!
