Lauren was an excellent host. She made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The home was cozy and just far enough away from the hustle of downtown. We got to see deer outside almost every day that we stayed. Definitely recommend staying here for anyone looking.

Wonderful weekend stay!

We had the best time staying here! It comfortably fit 10 adults (and we had a great time sharing the “kids” room, offered plenty of room for gathering together, and overall was a great home base for a long weekend :)
