A wonderful stay at a beautiful place
The house is beautiful, clean, and comfortable! Lots of pillows and warm blankets for the bedroom for the colder nights (we’re from Florida so 50 is cold for us), we didn’t need to turn up the heat too far for good sleeping nor for being up and about the house. Surrounded by natural forest and neighbors that are far enough away that it feels private and is very peaceful.
There’s a porch that wraps around the half of the house that faces woods and the fire pit/bbq area, so during the day you’ll catch beautiful sunlight through the trees and some chipmunks that appear at times. At night, it’s very dark unless the moon is out so you’ll be greeted with the wonderful sounds of crickets and such while the glow from the inside lights gives you a different view of the woods.
When you go up the steps to get onto the porch, there’s a latched gate so that any bigger forest residents can’t get onto the porch; however while we were there we never even saw anything bigger than the chipmunk. Still, the gate provides nice peace of mind.
I highly recommend John’s house for your vacation stay! There’s a grocery store, a Family Dollar, and some other businesses not too far away for your needs. I found that there are a very limited number of places here and there in the area that only want cash, so it’s a good idea to plan accordingly. (I know, weird in the 21st century to take only cash.)
The mountains are calling!
