Relaxing

My hosts Julien and Juliana were amazing and so quick to respond to any inquiries or concerns. I’m not a hot tub owner, and had questions about running the hot tub, I was in that hot tub every night, it was almost magical, rolling hills and deer visiting the the backyard nightly! As I said, my hosts are awesome and the suite is just a perfect place to relax. Will definitely book again with these awesome hosts!

A wonderful getaway for New Years!

We loved spending our New Years together here at this property. Everything was very nice, especially the hot tub. Great place to relax, and it wasn't a far drive from stores and such. The only complaint we had was the bed was a touch too hard (for her anyways) but this was easily remedied by just folding up some blankets to use as cushions. Recommended to bring some kind of mattress topper if you prefer a softer bed. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our hosts! Thanks again, Julien and Juliana!P.S. their dog Marty is a cutie

On a whirlwind work trip, i got to spend a few days in this lovely suite. It 's half an hour from the airport, 20 minutes to pretty much anywhere else. The hot tub with it's secluded space and great view made it even better! I have to go back and vacation!

Great stay! Hot tub is a bonus!

Had a little get away with my husband. Easy to communicate with property management. Welcome package was delivered as promise (gave a nice little touch to the rental experience). Great location. Love love love the hot tub! Just right outside the door. Overhead coverage (so even though it was raining … we were out in the hot tub).

Very clean and nice decor

The hot tub was excellent, nice and hot, the jets weren't that powerfull. I had to sleep on the couch because the mattress was lousy. Overall it was cute and very clean. Yes I'd recommend it, and suggest a better mattress.

Overall, this property was fine, however we would not stay here again. We were not able to lock the door when leaving. We tried many many times and it was obvious the lock was broken. We had to pack our items when we left to ensure nothing was taken. The hosts were responsive when we contacted them regarding the lock, however, no solution was provided. We had to carry our suitcases down a mulch trail around the house as it was not paved. There were 4 towels and robes provided, however, one of the towels had holes and bleach stains. The bedsheets had stains from use.
