Great stay at this house. Tyler and Mary were great to work with and communicate with. Wineries, distilleries, and breweries all close by. Really couldn't ask for more.
This is a cozy spot and very relaxing setting. The kitchen is well equipped and our family enjoyed the large kitchen table to gather around for card games. We would definitely schedule it again.
The house was clean and very comfortable. Plenty of room for the dog to run around through the woods and for how secluded its only minutes from the distilleries and wineries
Overall, our stay was great! It was exactly what we were looking for location-wise, and we had a fantastic time. All of the amenities worked, but a few had some cosmetic issues. The top of the microwave would fall off when we used it, and the dishwasher is starting to fall due to the way it was installed. Besides these few issues, everything went well! Would stay again.
We had a wonderful time at this great tucked away spot for our family to gather for Thanksgiving. The kitchen was well stocked, surroundings were great for short hikes, kids loved the shed, and beds were comfortable. So many great spots for dining, wine tasting and distilleries nearby! The only downside for us is was that my husband and brother are both 6’3” and taller so the lower ceilings in spots was a bit comical. Overall great stay and would definitely recommend.
We enjoyed our stay very much! Only downside was the heat upstairs (couldn’t get it cool enough to stay up there) and upstairs shower was tiny. Everything else was awesome!

Thanks so much for staying with us Leslie! We're tweaking our mini-splits to make sure they run well on the hottest days!
Good Location to breweries and Wineries.
Tucked away off the main hwy a mile plus. House was smaller than appeared online, it was fine for us, but if you have a large group may be different. Host was great!
We were pleasantly surprised with how close we were to so many wineries and breweries. The house was so quaint surrounded by beautiful property. We had a great little walk around the property. The kids played fooseball all night, ha ha. The shed and fooseball was a nice addition.
