We are 2-time renters. This is an excellent property, and we really appreciate how attentive and communicative our hosts are. Staying here feels like I'm visiting my grandparents. The kids loved being outdoors and seeing all the working farms. We'll be back!

Spacious but cozy and had all the amenities we needed. Very clean and loved the beautiful views at all hours. Grateful for the 2 dog policy as our sitters fell through- our pups loved the open space to roam and we loved sitting on the porch with everyone! Would definitely stay again!
