Beautiful home, quite neighborhood, great communication

My family loved staying at this home, 3 couples each got their own room AND bathroom! The forest view is nice, we saw a deer in the yard as well as bunnies. The enclosed porch with seating is wonderful to enjoy the outside without the bugs. The owner communicated with us before our visit and to provide a quick update on the door code. Will stay again!

Lovely house

This was our family’s second visit to this lovely property. The lower level was the perfect location for our son, his wife and our 2 grandsons. Our 3 year old especially loved the toys and bumper pool table. The upper level was a perfect congregating spot for meals and family time. The house was very clean and neat and communication with the management was very good. We were very pleased with our stay and plan on coming back again next year.
