Wonderful family getaway!

Porch Therapy is where we stayed for our 10th anual Labor Day family trip. This was our favorite place so far. The porches offered great places to gather to spend quality time and the views were beautiful! The host is very responsive and made booking and check-in easy. Definitely would stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in. The cabin and neighborhood are very nice and easy to get to. The downstairs playroom with extra sleeping was just what we needed. The mattresses in all bedrooms were extremely comfortable. Host was accommodating and helpful with any questions we had. Check in was a breeze. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful house and property. Our host was very nice and easy to work with. The swing and porch were a delight. The downstairs was perfect for our grandkids to hang out. Location is good and the surrounding activities were within a 40 minute drive: good hiking, cute shops, wineries, and basics like groceries and restaurants. Would highly recommend.

Cabin was clean; communication with host was great; family friendly with space to spread out. The fire pit was a big hit; sat around and visited a lot as we played table games. Weather was gorgeous and so nearby hiking trails were appreciated. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking appliances/pots & pans/dishes for our group. Enjoyed coffee from the unusual mugs! Foliage was still resplendent in all of its glory! Great sibling reunion!

This place was perfect! We loved everything about it! Everything was very clean and had everything we needed! Highly recommend! My only suggestion would be to add an optional baby gate going to the basement :)
