True rustic retreat

We had a lovely stay at this home. I was very impressed with cleanliness. My children Loved staying upstairs in their own area. Most of all it was nice to see all the children's books - we felt very welcome. Thank you

Great Place

The house was great. Perfect for our family. We were in town for our daughter's wedding that was at Bridal Oaks. The house was very close to the wedding venue but also easy to get into town. Alan was very responsive when we had questions and needed to make some minor changes in our reservation. Highly recommend the rustic retreat.

We truly enjoyed this unique home. It was beautiful and comfortable. We felt at home and wanted to stay longer. The neighborhood was peaceful. We enjoyed watching the squirrels play and we saw a hummingbird several times. My favorite was the sunroom. They have several live plants throughout the home, this gives a very welcoming feel.

BEAUTIFUL HOME! We really enjoyed our stay, so very homey. My boys immediately fell in love with the room upstairs, and the sun room was my personal favorite spot. The owners were super helpful. We ended up being a little late leaving because I couldn't find my key, they got out and helped! 10/10 Amazing stay would love to do again. The town is also super cute and has some really fun things to do. Again 5 star stay!!
