Thanksgiving Getaway
Our family loves to leave Florida and head for the mountains Thanksgiving week. We were close to a lot of beautiful hiking locations. The house was perfect for us. The kitchen was fully equipped for Thanksgiving dinner. The house was very cozy and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The house is decorated like an English cottage, which made it extra special. We highly recommend this house.

Beautiful home and property!
This is a lovely cottage and perfect for our family. The home is clean and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the deck for drinking our morning coffee and then for relaxing in the sun after our afternoon hikes. The property has a pretty pond and soothing waterfall. It is a great location and close to town. This is the second time we have stayed here and we will definitely stay again. Highly recommend!
