Wonderful
Perfect location, beautiful home amd property. Limited internet service, challenging communication but if your looking to disconnect it's a non-issue. We were happy just enjoying the creek, firepit, rocking chairs on the front porch and loved that the dogs had a good size fenced in yard to explore. It's one of our favorite rentals to date. We came to visit family and it really was our home away from home. Everything about this rental met all our needs. All boxes checked for us! Hope to return in the future. Great getaway to care for self and loved ones. Thank you
Beautiful location, quiet, peaceful and enjoyable. Front porch with rockers, fenced in yard for the dogs, fire-pit and a creek. The interior was spacious and beautifully designed. The most amusing thing about our stay was needing to use a step stool to get into bed at night. Lol. Definitely a place we would want to return to in the future. Only drawback was sporadic, slow and sometimes non-existent internet service. Made communication with family challenging. The remedy was a short drive to the highway for service. Although frustrating for us at times it was wonderful to be disconnected for periods of time. It made us more aware of our beautiful surroundings and our time together.
