We celebrated our 20th anniversary this past weekend here and it was perfect! It was the cutest little home ever. Everything you need! We spent the majority of our time on the screened in porch! The swinging daybed was fabulous. We really enjoyed the hot tub. It was amazing to see the deer graze around us. We will definitely be back!

Super cute property and we very much enjoyed the screen porch! Everything was great, but I do wish the check-in time was a little earlier, the bathroom a little bigger, and the porch fan had an adjustable speed.

This was perfect for our anniversary! The screened in porch is the best and by far our favorite. It had TV and fireplace and right outside the porch is the hot tub. We even had deer show up each evening. Location is close to all the places we wanted to visit.

The property was beautiful and very clean. The screened porch was our favorite and where most of our time was spent. We saw deer daily as they passed thru. The property is not far from town or the state parks/desoto falls. Pizza from Mentone mkt was delicious as well as breakfast at Hatter cafe and dinner at the Wildflower.

I had a wonderful time here. It's very quiet and relaxing. I had a small issue with the fireplace so I reached out the host. She responded quickly and with relavent information along with guiding me to the manuals. You can tell from the cleanliness of the place that they really care about their properties. She talked to me like I was a person and not just someone paying to stay. Thru out my stay her responses were always very quick! The screened in patio has a wonderful swing bed along with a fireplace that made the bed that much more comfortable and inviting. The hot tub was clean and very warm and relaxing. I give this place full 5 stars and I will definitely be back! Try it out, you won't be disappointed!

Perfect Getaway!

If you are contemplating booking this property, my only advice is to book now!! It was absolutely perfect for our long weekend stay! The property was extremely clean and cozy! We had lots of rain during our trip, but it didn't matter to us because the screened in porch was perfect for lazing and watching movies. All communication with Cathleen was amazing as well - very prompt in responding to all of my questions. We will most definitely be back!
