The hosts are amazing and the property is just perfect. There are things to do in local towns or you can stay in the entire time and always have something to do. They provide games, some food, outdoor trails, hot tub and a fire pit. My husband and I make it a point to visit once a year but now we are planning on at least twice, we cannot get enough of it here!

I almost don't want to share my true thoughts because I want to make sure that I can book it again for another concert. These hosts are spectacular. The property is absolutely stunning. The house is so charming, warm and sweet. It has EVERYTHING and then some. This is a must book. They have me as a guest for a long time now.

The house was amazing and exactly what we were hoping for. It's hard to beat having a hot tub right off the bedroom and a secluded little piece of heaven all to ourselves. We enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit in the evenings, and the bird watching was an unexpected highlight the hummingbirds were incredibly active throughout our stay.Peaceful, private, and a great place to unplug. We'd happily stay here again.

This is a perfect peaceful cottage hidden in the trees beside a stream. It is visited by many birds, has a fire pit and outdoor screened in gazebo with a table and chairs inside. Inside is everything you'd need for a stay away from home. We ordered the breakfast which was just right for two adults for two mornings. The cinnamon rolls were delicious. We enjoyed local hiking, restaurants and looking out the window at the birds. Wonderful way to relax and decompress. We enjoyed our stay.

The cottage is so cozy and clean, and the bed is comfortable. The creek, woods and farm also made for such a peaceful stay. The owners have put so much thought into making the cottage and yard a beautiful retreat. If you like walking in the woods there are two county parks close to the cottage. And..you will eat the best cinnamon roll in your life!

This truly was a perfect place to get away from it all and relax. The place was spotless, full of all amenities you might need. The coffee/tea bar with delicious cinnamon rolls was a lovely treat. The hot tub overlooking the creek was beautiful and so relaxing. Loved all of the bird watching. Thank you Dawn for providing a special place to recharge ourselves. Cant wait to come back!
