Outside deck is nice with plenty of space. Pictures of the house is exactly how it is. Plenty of room to spread out. Rooms do get pretty bright once the sun comes out. Overall nice stay.

Beautiful Property

We enjoyed our stay. This property is really beautiful and the house is nice. We stayed at the end of the season. There were a few things that needed to be fixed in the restroom that I chalk up to our timing. The house is really nice and the area is good and not too busy. The communication with the owner was fabulous and timely. I recommend a stay here and I appreciate the openness of the owner to add an extra day at the last minute.
