Wonderful
This property is exceptional. Wooded with many trails, filled with wildlife. The house is clean and roomy, with a furnished porch and firepit with wood. The attention to detail is incredible. Would certainly stay here again.

Our Second Visit!
This is the most fun, relaxing place our family has ever stayed. Everything we needed, and the little extras, too! We did a scavenger/Easter egg hunt for the Kiddos. I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or the adults! There were so many fun hiding places on the property.

Amazing Family Get Away
The hosts were amazing! We had everything we needed and more. Nice home and the extras made it a home away from home. Lot's of outdoors for the kiddos to run and play. We even went sasquatch hunting with the kids (lots of woods for hiking).
