Great stay
Was a great spot from the wedding venue we attended. Everything was only a few minutes drive away. House was well cleaned and ready upon arrival and had great communications with our guest contact. Couldn't be more happy about the stay.

Great Family Get Away
The property was in a great location, very clean and we were able to have enough space for the entire group. We’ve stayed at several VRBO’s over the years, this property exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed our stay very much and would rent again for sure.

Beautiful Place
We had several people coming in from out of state to celebrate a graduation and the house was really nice. We had plenty of places to sleep and gather and cook. There is a short walking trail nearby so it was easy to get outside without having to drive somewhere. The grocery stores were close and we were close to the events we wanted to attend.
