Clean, cozy, and the hosts went the extra mile for us. They had small birthday decor and a card set up when we arrived for my bf’s birthday. It was such a sweet unexpected gesture.

My brother and I were taking a trip to visit Sherwood Forest for the weekend. Dodo's place was the perfect tiny home nestled in the woods. The AC was cool, the beds comfy, and the shower warm. Our bonus was a visit from some friendly hens in the morning before we exited. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to get away.
