Absolutely loved staying here. Peaceful and private. The extra touches these hosts include definitely elevate the experience. Perfectly curated and they have thought of everything. Definitely not your average vrbo. 10/10 recommend
This creek. Sad property was an awesome retreat from my wife, and I for our anniversary. We even dude, the personal shift experience with the black top guys. Would definitely enjoy the experience and would definitely do it again. The house was fully. It's applied with everything you could think of even breakfast and snacks.
What a delightful place. Not only the amenities and local foods for breakfast, but the owner is amazing with communication and hospitality. Will definitely be back when we return to visit our daughter and her family who live in the area.
Marc and Tamara were wonderful and their property is beautiful. Tamarca Hollow was exactly what we were looking for. So peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. A short walk to the creek was perfect and you can also hear the creek while waking in the morning and while winding down on the deck at night. Wonderful hosts! So glad we were able to stay here.
Tamara was an extremely accomodating, friendly, kind and a wonderful host and cook.She made every bit of my elopement a breeze. We were impressed from check in at our accommodations, to when the weather changed, the alternative and gorgeous community accommodations (including a beautiful lake) to our wedding photographer.She provided everything a nature girl like me would love and more. On arrival we had complimentary locally sourced food, drink, even desserts and teas. Our wedding ceremony went smoothly and the dinner done by her was absolutely delicious.Our personalized surprise wedding gift from her family to ours was truly special and appreciated. Tamara provides a perfect, simple, private, nature getaway from everyday life, while still providing everything you would need. At the end of the three days, we felt like we had extended family. My husband and I definitely enjoyed our stay and we look forward to my next visit.
Our stay couldn't have been better. The reviews before we stayed said it all
We LOVED the dogs. It was so calming to see them as they greeted us in their gentle manner. Thank you.
I highly recommend a stay at this beautiful hollow! I cannot express how exceptional the attention to detail was- right from initial communication with Tamara and Marc, to the lemon infused water chilled in the fridge!
The place was beautiful and clean. The bubbling creek can be heard as you fall asleep, or sit on the porch with a morning brew.
We enjoyed a toured walk through the forest on the property with Marc. Then took a beautiful hike to a waterfall that Tamara recommended.
All in all, a perfect getaway which we will be sure to return to!
Tamara and Marc have a beautiful above garage apartment that has been well taken care of. The extra touches they add make your stay like you are at a resort. Such a treat staying here for a weekend and escaping the rushes of every day life.
Loved the location and the set-up of the carriage house. The DVD collection was a super treat for us. Any glitches with communication were probably due to internet connections . Marc and Tamara were superb hosts !
If you’re looking for an off the grid mountain oasis, this is your place! We are so jealous that Tamara and Marc get to wake up to this everyday! Their property is GORGEOUS! Tamara and Marc were also very flexible with us as we had to reschedule our trip dates. They are unbelievable hosts, too! They left an amazing summer salad, bread, cookies, yogurt, wine, cheese, crackers - you name it! They even left little dog treats for our boy! They took us on a tour of their property and then let us roam freely. They left hammocks for us to swing in and it was so peaceful and just what we needed! The house is super clean and just the perfect cabin feel! We loved listening to the frogs sing at night and just be at peace with nature. Tamara and Marc have the coolest dogs, too, who just loved our little man! We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to visit again! :-)
We had a wonderful weekend at the Tamarca Hollow. The space was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved exploring the property and going to the community lake/hiking trail that was only a 5 minute drive down the street. Tamara and Marc were awesome hosts who were quick to respond to any question we had and had an amazing dinner for us the first night along with tasty breakfast essentials in the fridge. We couldn’t have asked for a better relaxing weekend getaway! I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be coming back to make more memories!
