Thanks for staying with us! We are so glad you enjoyed Easter weekend at our home, and we hope we can host you again!
A perfect place for a get away. Well appointed and every aspect — from the comfort of the beds to the layout of the house — exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.
This was a really wonderful place to stay. Everything was comfortable and generous. Lots of space to spread out. Easy to relax and enjoy the water and the views as well as cook meals. For those for whom going up and down hills is challenging, it is a bit steep going up and down to the dock.
Great house for families. Kitchen space large with two refrigerators and great stoves. Outdoor space was amazing. Quiet peaceful neighborhood. Had boat pick us up twice from dock for water sports. Peaceful dock for morning yoga.
