We were there for a charity event at The Covey Rise Sporting Clays. The house was close, the right size and easy access. The house had what we needed, was clean, had what was needed. We did not cook, because of the event. Only issue was that there was not a wine opener. We usually take one with us, but forgot this time. We would definitely recommend and go back.

The house was super cute and was perfect for what we needed. Communication was quick and the check-in/ check out process was simple. The only complaints if you can even call them that was the strong air freshener smell throughout the house, I’m sensitive to that type of thing and had a migraine most of my stay. It is all well water so make sure to grab some water for drinking and brushing your teeth and good luck if you happen to be a vibrant hair girlie like me. Also there is no lighting where you have to park so it makes it difficult coming and going at night but the view of the stars was incredible.
