The property is beautiful, peaceful and the perfect way to spend your time up there. We came up for a bachelorette trip and it was the most serene and peaceful place to be. Our bride to be was beyond happy and enjoyed her room as well as how close we were to the sunflower festival and how many games we could play at the house.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It was a pleasure to host your group. It has been very disappointing with the lack of rain. We know this is a beautiful time of year to be able to use the fire pit. We hope you’re able to come again sometime and the weather will be more cooperative. We are sorry to read that you were under the impression that you could not use the fireplace, there are not any restrictions on using the indoor fireplace, only outdoor fires are prohibited during a burn ban. We apologize if that was not clear, and for any inconvenience.

Nice, Secluded, and So many extra niceties

It was a lovely stay in a very private wooded area. The hosts also had plenty of extras I'm not used to seeing in a vacation rental like plenty of paper products, plates, cups, cutlery and even disposable toothbrushes. We'd love to stay here again on our next visit to the area.
