Perfect size little home, clean and easy access

The only issue that we had was there was not much around us as far as food. It was a little community that was right on the river, which was nice. We enjoyed being together in this home and it was very quaint with everything you need. I highly recommend it. Just make sure you take snacks and things that you can fix in the home if you don't have time to go about 20 to 30 minutes to get something else.

Amazing Rental Home

Very clean, organized, and fully stocked with all necessities you might need. Communication with the owners was a breeze and they are very attentive to their renters. More than enough room for families as well as extended families too. Overall a great experience!

Great stay, comfy setting

We came down to celebrate my sister's birthday. We went snow tubing, did a little gambling and had some great food. The house is exactly as listed. Fully stocked kitchen and lots of seating and sleeping space. The house is clean and cozy. The owners were very quick to respond and allowed an early check in. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Hitzfield

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Petersburg with our two children and choose to make this quiet little town our home. This is a great advantage to our customers because we are so close. We can easily help you out with any of your needs and answer any questions.
We reside in the “Berkshire house” which was constructed around 1928 from the Brick of the old distillery building. Dan’s family has lived in Petersburg for 5 generations, so needless to say we are vested in our community. When traveling ourselves, we often stay in a vacation rental. We find this to be the best and most affordable choice for our family and we think that you will too. So we hope to welcome you to our community. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
