This place was perfect for us!!! Couldn’t have been any better for what we were doing. Easy access to trails and the outside patio was perfect. Very clean, comfortable, and plenty of room.

My dog loved the property, exploring and of course the daily deer running by to bark at!! We loved the peace and quiet. Get some firewood, a warm cup of coffee/cocoa, and sit on the porch!

Hello Nikki, we are sorry for the inconvenience that the management software & VRBO connection had caused for your reservation. But it was out of our control & property was occupied at the time. This management software does booking on 3 major platforms & keeps the calendars synced..so in theory it should not have been open for you to book. We understand your frustration but the rating does affect our overall rating which was perfect till this point & we work very had to keep it at that level. Booking sites have this sort of issues off and on and it is nothing that we can do to prevent that from happening :( We just wanted to explain what exactly had caused the issue with your booking. Thank you & wish you a blessed day. PK & Andrea
