Thank you so very much for the wonderful review and choosing The Getaway for your stay. It was wonderful to meet you both .it was a pleasure hosting your stay and hope you return to stay again. Sincerely Keri Kelly at The Getaway
This was a peaceful retreat from all the wedding events! We had everything we needed, including a late night swim to relax after the wedding. It is so close to town but it feels like a true get away from everything!
The accommodations were very cozy, quiet and serene. The House had a beautiful deck overlooking forested area by the creek below. The house was very, very clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. It was really neat seeing deer, goats and wild turkeys near the property.

It was a pleasure hosting Michell and Claudia, they were wonderful guests, very respectful and left everything very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend hosting them and hope they return to stay again at The Getaway
Keri our host was so sweet and accommodating. The house was lovely, it made us feel welcomed. The patio was great to sit out on in the mornings and evenings. We were gone from 11:00 am to 6 or 7 each day but got one mornining in the pool which was very refreshing. Highly recommend this home The Getaway is the perfect name . Thank you Keri for sharing it with us.
