Nice place in nature

Plenty of indoor space, great outdoor space as well. We didn’t get a chance to enjoy the firepit and outdoors but looked great! Cleanish, though we have pretty high standards.

Good place to stay.

Our stay was very nice, it is in a very quiet wooded area. The only 2 problems we had were there were no curtins or blinds on the living room windows and it didn't get cleaned real well before we arrived. We do recommend it to anyone.

Lovely little double wide with completely redone interior. Lovely decor, had everything we could need, and was located on 5 wooded acres. We took a short hike and enjoyed listening to nothing but birds and the breeze. Very private and clean, we will stay again!
