We couldn't ask for anything more. By far, one of the nicest properties we've visited anywhere. Very clean, organized, and the Storers pay attention to every detail. If you're on the hunt for a place to stay, look no further.

There’s no better recommendation than to know we had already opened up the VRBO calendar to see future dates that were available. Every single moment of our 3 days were just what the doctor ordered; literally. I am recuperating from spinal surgery and could not have found a more relaxing, comfortable, peaceful property to heal. Many thanks to our hosts….and see you again!

We arrived late at night for a graduation the next day, and as soon as we walked in, our family teased that the place was so nice we were going to skip out on graduation and hang out there instead! Ha ha. Everything was spotless, well equipped, well labeled, and just so pleasant and welcoming. Heartfelt thanks!!

Everything was laid out beautifully. There were no questions not answered by a handy guide left for guests. House was clean, beautiful and updated. The hot tub was clean and especially nice as a way to relax after visiting all of the nearby shops. I would give more stars if I could. We will be back!

About the host

We are from the area. We love making our property available to people for making memories and spending quality time.

Why they chose this property

House sets back off the road and is not visible from the road.

What makes this property unique

All sheets, blankets, bedspreads, furniture throws and towels, including hot tub towels, are washed in 140 degree water after every guest to sanitize for the next guest. Floors are vacuumed and steamed after each guest. High touch areas are wiped with disinfectant. Owner on property for quick response but rental property back yard and deck are very private.
