Very Clean

The Cabin was very clean and comfortable. My kids loved the ping pong table and games in the basement. The Gentleman’s lounge was the perfect spot to hang out. We would definitely stay here again.

A Great Place

This is the best place that I have stayed at. The interaction with the host was delightful. Far and above the best stocked kitchen I have seen. The first night of the stay we had a stellar view of a meteor shower. We will be staying here or at another one of Allison’s properties again.

Absolutely beautiful!

This house was stunning and was the perfect place to reset after a long week. Perfectly located. This is also the cleanest place we have rented on VRBO. The fireplace is the perfect touch.
