The property is beautiful.The house is very clean! It’s just far enough out to be quiet but close enough to get to grocery stores and places to eat without having to travel too far. The host communicated very well and always wrote back in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend and will be back!!

The home was very clean and nicely decorated. Kitchen was nicely furnished. The sunrise view was amazing and we also went to the scenic overlook at the bottom of the street and saw a beautiful sunset. We wanted to get away from the expected firework noise at out home and it was very quiet there. We did some sightseeing at the towns in the area as well. We really enjoyed our stay.

This place is so nice and they thought of all the little details! The view is absolutely stunning. My wife and I with our two boys had a blast being within 15 minutes of the Buffalo River, then hit one of the restaurants in town and back up to the house for s’mores over the fire pit. We will certainly be back.

This property was as described and perfect for our Thanksgiving getaway. The space was very accommodating for our party of 6. It was very clean! Felt instantly comfortable. We loved the fire pit area and the yard was great for our dogs to stretch their legs. Close to activities like the drive-in theatre, hiking trails, and shopping. Highly recommend.

House was fine. Beds comfy.But...Disgusting peeling frying pans.No instuctions on how to use tv or what networks were available.And while it had a lovely deck and fire pit, you couldn't use them because of the extremly loud highway noise...24/ 7 traffic and tractor trailersListing did not say "Perched right over a major highway".

We loved staying at this house for our family vacation. The host provides stuff for smores, firewood and plenty of games for the family to play together! My family loved the large sofa and the firepit the most to hangout and relax at the end of the day. Definitely recommend a sunrise and sunset watch for your stay! 10/10 would recommend!
