This place was perfect for what we needed for a long weekend getaway. Beautiful, quiet property, with plenty of amenities and local destinations. The host was very attentive and we would definitely book again.
Great property for our family and dog, everyone loved it! Clean, pictures were very accurate, check in and communication were very easy. Definitely recommend!
Great place for our weekend. Love the great room and the master bedroom was comfy. Our little dog was perfectly at home here and enjoyed walking in the neighborhood. Hot tub was perfect. Great location.
Our second stay and never disappoints us staying here. Plenty of room for everyone and fur babies to roam around. Checkout Green Bush Brewing, food was phenomenal! Beer Church never disappoints us either.

The house & grounds were not clean. We did not stay at the location. The silverware was dirty, there were cobwebs & dead bugs, the outdoor areas & grill were dirty. I contacted VRBO twice to no avail. I would assume the owner has a cleaning service but they did not do a good job. I didn't pay to stay in a dirty house. I feel my money should be refunded.
Our family weekend getaway was great. The home/cabin was very clean. Nice and secluded. It was very relaxing. Accommodating from host was beyond great..Very easy to communicate with. Although i brought all my Amenities the cabin was supplied with just about anything you would need
We enjoyed our Anniversary weekend . The house was very clean and comfortable. The hot tub was amazing. Cozy fires in the evenings were perfect! Host was easy to communicate with!
We had a lovely time. Fireplace and hot tub on a cold winter night cannot be beat. One unexpected bonus - one of us had to work remotely and the second family room den was perfect. Quiet enough to get stuff done, but still be part of the mix.
Beautiful location in the trees, hot tub, fire pit, and indoor fireplaces were awesome. We didn’t get a response when we contacted the host about a lack of supplies to actually start a fire, but we still had a great time and I’ve recommended this house to friends. Hope to come back!

I cannot recommend staying at this property. Security is the biggest concern. The doors did not lock! The beds were comfortable, and there was enough kitchenware for our stayThe hot tub was disgusting. Day one we contacted the site to have it cleaned, we were told it would be serviced. It was not. We contacted site the next day and were ignored.We were asked for a 5 star review, in order for them to give us a 5 star review. We provided our security concerns as well as the ignored hot tub. They did not respond.This property should not allowed to be rented because of the security issues. Not providing advocate locks on in doors is a huge concern, and needs to be reviewed by VRBO. There is also an issue with electricity. The lights flickered, and we could not use some lights. It seems it was a wiring issue.
The house was just as described. Roomy enough for all of us including the fur babies. Easy check in and out and the house was very clean. Awesome stereo surround sound, really enjoyed that surprise. Will definitely be back as we really enjoyed the area, close to everything yet private.
House was great. House was had so many windows and nature was very active (squirrels, chipmunks, and deer) The only thing I would have changed was the couch in TV room was not comfy like the formal living room. Thank s for the great home for our stay!
I travel to this area a couple times a year. Usualy girl trips .This trip was birthday. This house was perfect. The owner was very easy to get intouch with.We took our dog and the yard at house was amazing. Very well supplied kitchen, comfortable beds. Spacious for family.Would definitely stay again.I posted a picture of the deer that visited us 1st morning Highly recommend
This spacious, yet cozy home was a perfect retreat for our visit to Union Pier! Everything was super clean (and I’m picky about that!) and equipped with everything needed. Bill was very responsive to any questions and so pleasant to work with. We will definitely book again next year!

I’m glad you and your group enjoyed yourself. Please come back and stay with us again. Bill
Great house for bigger groups, large kitchen and family room. 2 bathrooms which really works out well! Very quiet lot, close to the beach but still need to drive. Just a quick hint to lock the French doors need to pull the handle up. Oh, and the hot tub was so relaxing! All in all great place to stay!!!
We had a wonderful stay at this adorable and clean home—it was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The house felt tucked away and private, yet was just a couple of minutes from the beach, which made it super convenient. I appreciated the kids games and books that are there as well since we had kids ages 6-11 in our group, plus the hot tub was a huge hit! The property manager was great with communication and very accommodating to our travel plans, which made everything so easy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway!
