We had a lovely long weekend at this nice property. We enjoyed the views from the deck, literally from sunrise to sunset! We had friends over for dinner one night (the kitchen is nicely equipped) and had s'mores for dessert down by the fire pit! The evening was enjoyed by all. My husband and I stayed in the King Bedroom on the upper floor and the bed was very comfy. The owner was so gracious and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay again.

There are properties that the pictures overstate the conditions of the house, but this was quite the opposite. This rental was roomy, clean, easily accessible, and convenient. The host was also communicative and helpful! I would stay here again, no questions asked, and that to me is the sign of a great place!
