This was a fantastic stay! The host was friendly, communicative, the property was exactly as described, and check-in was incredibly smooth and simple. Everything matched the listing perfectly and exceeded our expectations. Many extra special touches to make us feel right at home. Comfy beds! Spacious! Clean! And beautiful wildlife views. We would happily stay here again.

It was very clean and decorated very cute. They had nice little touches like a full variety of spices, paper plates, and paper cups to use outside. Coffee filters, coffee, and tea.We saw turkeys in deer both days we were there.
