The host are amazing. I stayed at both of their houses. They are wonderful people. They will do anything that you need done. If you do need anything and they work with you they are very nice sweet people. Their houses are gorgeous, especially the one with the Lakeview and this one is beautiful too. I can tell they put a lot of time and hard work into both properties and I am very thankful that I met them and came across. This and I stay every year and every time the stay is awesome couldn’t ask for better people. very clean they provide everything which a lot of people don’t and it’s very warm and cozy at both houses you feel like you’re in your own house and that’s what I like to feel like when I’m on vacation thank you so much to Heather and Jeremy, you guys are awesome. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to stay next year.

Loved the Property!

The place is adorable and very comfortable. Things we especially appreciated were the super cute and tasteful decor, the fully stocked coffee bar (including travel cups & lids!), the front & back porch areas, location (lovely wooded winding drive leading to the property), and the FAST response from the host any time we had a question. I should also add the place was spotless. We fully enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to come back!

The house was fine, overall. Beds and pillows were fine for one night - I would suggest bringing your own pillow if staying longer. Unfortunately, the air mattress we requested wasn't out and there were no sheets/pillows to use for it. Also, we were told there was coffee provided, but there were only 2 k-cups for three adults. I would have brought my own, if I had been aware. The creamer provided is expired, as well.

Hi Kristin! The two air mattresses available to use are easily accessible. There are tons of extra sheets, pillows & pillow cases that are also easily accessible. Will talk to the cleaners about not stocking the coffee. Thanks for your stay!

I thought it was in a good location 45 minutes to the ark encounter and about the same time to the Creation museum. There's a few historical towns near by like Vavay about 8 minutes away nice quaint town to visit and Madison is also a great old town to visit 30 minutes away. So yes absolutely I think it's a great place to stay you will not be disappointed.
