My girlfriends and I had our annual get together here with our families. This is such an idyllic location, with the creek running through the property! It was absolutely perfect for us and the kids. I highly recommend a stay here rain or shine!

Super cute place! Communication with the host was easy and she is friendly. We were even offered fesh vegetables that were in season from her garden. My children very much enjoyed the little zip line! The lighting inside is a little dark, but everything was very cute and clean. The best part of the stay is the relaxing sound of the creek!

Fantastic property for a week’s stay with a couple of teenagers. We explored the stream and woods, found blackberries to eat, and were nearby our hiking areas. The teens made the saloon their hang-out. The kitchen was well-stocked. Property was beautiful and had great touches of whimsy. I loved hanging out on the deck and listening to the stream. Host was great with communication - provided recommendations for places to go & things to see. Would recommend!

We loved our stay here! It was the perfect setup for our two families and three young kids. The river and treehouse right on the property kept the children entertained. The host was amazing—super fast communication and very helpful. The loft is located in the separate building, which is good to know ahead of time! Even without AC, the provided fans kept us perfectly comfortable. WiFi was easy to find on the fridge. Thank you for a great stay!
