Perfect spot for a large group! We had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful - the location is fabulous, beds are comfortable, deck is perfect for coffee in the morning or quiet evening. Our only issue was we wished we would have been able to stay in the area longer!

This was our yearly trip for my 2 sons and me. The property was easy to find and close to a lot of food and such. The house itself was spacious - way too big for the 3 of us and had everything we needed! I appreciated that nothing that was left for guests was expired and the two pianos for is to play! Was a fun time!

we really enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable. The bed in the main suite was very comfy. Had our grands stay with us, they loved the play structure outside and enjoyed playing the pianos. The deck and yard are well kept. The kitchen is quite usable. We made dinners at the house every evening. Really disappointed the house is not available this summer as we would have rented it again for our next trip! Lynn, the host, is quite speedy on answering any questions.

House was very clean, the layout was excellent. There are four bedrooms, but they all feel fairly private because they are spaced out in a way that separates them. Lots of gathering space if you have a lot of people coming over to the rental—plenty of room for people to eat or sit and visit. The pocket doors between the sitting area and the TV room are really nice because it allows people to visit in one room and have somebody watching TV in the other room. The couches are super comfortable. We all slept well on the beds, plenty of hot water for showers, and the property is really quiet there’s not a lot of traffic noise. The owners were exceptional with answering text messages for a few questions, even though they were on their own vacation themselves. Well stocked kitchen with supplies. I really appreciated the decor. It was warm and welcoming and full of cool antiques and character. You could feel who the owners are. There is also a closet full of board games and toddler/kid toys that was a welcome surprise for us.

Home away from Home 5 stars

Very comfortable house with everything you need. Beautiful view, had visits from all kinds of forest creatures. Very comfortable furniture, couches, chairs, beds, shower, etc. Home is big, and built for family get togethers. My Grandaughters came to visit and had a blast playing all around the house and yard. Owners super friendly and easy to talk to. Thank you for a very pleasurable vacation.
