Comfortable house with plenty of room
My group of three stayed here for the second time in November. The house is clean and has plenty of room. It is stocked well and is conveniently located for our needs. We will likely stay here again.

Nice stay
The property was exactly as advertised and perfect for our group of friends doing a weekend get away. The house was very clean and communication with the hosts was excellent. They were responsive and attentive. The house is on a quiet road and we were able to take a long walk (3 miles) each day.

Pleasant Home Away From Home
This was our second time staying here and we were just as pleased this time as we were the first. This is a very peaceful and relaxing home with the sweetest homeowners. If you need a getaway place to relax and just slow down a little, we definitely recommend this place! They have everything you need!
