Great location!
We loved the location and the house itself was really great. There were so many deer and stuff to do for the kids. Only a few things that didn’t run smoothly. There were very few cups in the kitchen, so bring your own. Pets are allowed. Because of this, there is a slight cat smell and a lot of hair. If you have a cat allergy, might not be the place for you. They said there would be a crib in one room, but there wasn’t. We had to go purchase a pack and play for over $100. The coffee bar is so cute but all the flavorings expired in 2021. Other than those minor setbacks, we had a great time. The owner is very communicative. She offered food platters to be delivered before we arrived. She also told us where all the fun things in the area are like boat captains and pickleball courts. There were lots of games for the kids, and it’s one of the few rentals that comes with shampoo/conditioner.
