We love to swim in the river, go for hikes in the woods, ride our bikes, play in the yard, set up our tent & sit by the fire and star-gaze at night. We love to share our house with our family & friends.

A wonderful time away

We had a totally relaxing and fun time at the house, so much so, that we hope to go back again! We spent most of our days in the river looking for frogs, paddling in the swimming hole just nearby, walking up to the small waterfall, and playing baseball on the big lawn. Evenings were spent relaxing on the porch, watching movies, and listening to the great music collection. The house was lovely and had all the necessities to make it an easy place to move into and stay. Jen is a wonderful property owner and answered all of our questions, and her in-laws who live in an amazing hand-built farmhouse across the street are fantastic people. Couldn't recommend this vacation treat highly enough. Enjoy!

What a wonderful home! I felt like it was a home away from home yet still a vacation! The property was surreal, peaceful, and beautiful. Doing nothing was on the top of the list for this vacation and that is all I could do! RELAXING! No agenda to follow as if I had gone to some destination. All the ammenities necessary to live and fullfill my day! Sitting on the porch sipping my morning cup of coffee listening to the fresh water river running rappidly, washing the dishes and watching the baby birds who rested their home above the big window, swimming in the water hole just steps up the river, napping in the middle of the day in a spa decorated living room, roasting marshmellows in the hudge fire pit that rests just on the river bank, laying my head to rest in a large cool room gazing at the full moon that was just above the Mt. tops. What not to like at this home. The Brush's are a welcoming host and willing to answer to any of our needs. We came home from this vacation truelly relaxed.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, pet owners, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children.

Enjoyed my stay very much. House is nice and has a homie feeling. All ammentities are new and top Quality. The location provides for quite relaxing private time. nice big deck to sit and just read and listen to the brook that runs behind the house or entertain a group of guests. Would definately recommend to someone who is looking for some nice get away time. Location is still close enough to major activities/attractions .
