This place is well maintained, clean, well equipped and comfortable. Quiet spot for us to relax for a short while after a long working summer.I had a few small nitpicks with some of the things that we noticed, but should not be major detractors for anyone:- There is a single Ring camera on the garage building pointed at the front door of the house. That’s all well and good but it also overlooks the pool.- Some of the blinds in the common areas are missing sections.
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Aug 2026
Thank you for the comments. I appreciate your concern regarding the camera. However, because this house is on the Highway, I like to know that it is not being vandalized when it is not being occupied. It is not intended to catch anything other than that. As far as the blinds, we have lost a few of those pieces throughout the stays in the past and plan to replace them entirely this fall/winter. thank you again for the comments and please feel free to come relax again in the future.

Hosts were super quick to respond to questions. House is mega nice! Myself and 6 other guys stayed for 2nd season of deer hunting, host gave us tips on where to go to increase our odds. Check-in process was super simple and so was check-out. I 1000% recommend this place to anyone for any reason.

Another great stay

2 conservative years at this location. The addition of the pool was a bonus. We will probably be back again next year.
