Comfortable and Serene

The house was comfortable and provided plenty of space for my family to relax. My kids especially loved the pool table in the basement! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals - plenty of dishes, assorted pots and pans, utensils, etc. The location was also perfect for exploring the many different parks and natural areas. We enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful and easy

This stay included everything we needed for a quiet a rejuvenating long weekend - easy access to hiking, small town with good pizza, a chocolate factory and ice cream shop within 5 minutes drive and yet somehow very secluded and quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the covered deck every evening and watching the deer and turkeys go by.

Beautiful house

If you are okay with being out in farmland and away from it all, then this place is great! My family was here to see the national forest and surrounding areas, and it was perfect. I recommend the Garden of the Gods! The beds were very comfortable, and kitchen well stocked.
