The house was a great space for our group and had a perfect layout with multiple outdoor areas. The hot tub was great to have for the cool fall nights. The kitchen was well equipped, had spices, a drip coffee maker and Keurig. They even had dog bowls, treats, and a dog bed!The host was very helpful and also accommodated a late checkout.The location was not too far to pop over into town. We also found some trails within walking distance to the house which was great for a longer dog walk. The trail actually goes right behind the house, but there wasn’t a path directly to it (we entered the trail just down the street on Talisman Trace). We would definitely stay here again.
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2026
