A great place for a great price!
A group of friends gathered here for a five day retreat. We had a wonderful time! The house is charming. The hosts were very attentive to responding to any questions we had. There are two different living room/gathering spaces in the house which is also a really great feature. All this comes at a very reasonable price too!
We very much enjoyed having you. Thanks for coming and for the nice comments. Come back and visit soon.
Better than the pics
Very roomy had graduation and close to a lot!! Very scenic and definitely fully stocked... are usually bring everything but the kitchen sink and had to leave most of it in the car cleaning products extra towels blankets whatever because it was just as described only thing you need to bring is your food ,your camera and fun !!! Pat Answers all your questions before you even arrive and when you arrive so you make sure that it’s easy-going nothing to complain about! Will be going back
We all enjoyed the atmosphere of the house. Was plenty of room for everyone.
Overall we were please with our stay. A few things need some attention like stove needs some updating or cleaning and linens were very sparse .
Fabulous
It was spring so it was like we stayed in the house to visit the harshey chocolate factory. But will visit in summer for sure to enjoy the house again. It was fun with so many rooms and the steps and the small room at the back .. Pat was overboard wlth all type of stuff in the house .. from towels to blankets to pantry .. forgot anything to pack .. do a treasure hunt in the house and you will get it .. loved every moment. Thank you Pat
Comfortable house with lots of rooms.
This was the fourth year we stayed at the house. It’s a lovely place and very convenient to things we wanted to do.
Great big cozy home for a weekend away!!!
The house was amazing. These photos do not do justice! It was so much nicer and bigger in person! The kitchen was fully stocked and the beds were very comfy. Perfect place for a week or weekend getaway!
We are so glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the review. Please come again!
