What a wonderful place, came back so relaxed. This makes you want to move to the countryside and live. The wildlife walk thru the yard, the birds sing and life just slows down. There is a great country store at the end of the road and a great dinner called the Route 20 dinner just up the road. You will love this place.

What a special place…a real sanctuary that was immaculate! I did not want to leave. The host was very congenial and helpful. From hiking to making s’mores over the campfire, were all delightful experiences. I highly recommend it.

It was if we were in our own property. Clark made it easy in all aspects of the stay. It was if we had known him for 20 years. This property is remote and has a true mountain getaway feel. There are many trails and walking areas around the home. They even made our Aussie Maya feel right at home. There are me mennonites on the route to the property with fresh baked goods. You are minutes from the Nature Preserve. Take our advice and book a weekend at this amazing secluded getaway. Wow!!

We're so glad this true mountain getaway made you feel right at home, and that it lived up to a 5-star experience in every way. Hearing that the trails, the secluded setting, and even the local Amish bakeries along the way added to your trip means so much to us, and we're especially happy that your Aussie had a wonderful time too. This property was made for weekends just like yours, and we appreciate you sharing such a thoughtful, detailed review for future guests considering this peaceful escape near the Nature Preserve. Thank you for the kind words.

Absolutely amazing secluded get away. The house was very beautiful and hidden in the middle of nowhere. Perfect for a romantic get away and just to be alone for a bit. Local diners ha e the absolute best breakfast, best we have had in a very long time, and everyone was so kind.
