The Banjo Bungalow was a beautiful, clean, and well kept property. It was comfortable and quiet- a perfect place to enjoy some peace with your pupper. Julie was a very informative and lovely host. I hope to return again in the fall to enjoy watching the colors change.

We really enjoyed our stay, the place was as described, very secluded, peaceful. The cottage was very comfy and cozy, loaded with everything you need to cook and stay there. The master bed was nice and comfy and felt relatively new. The bathroom was really nice and had very good water pressure. The host was very nice, friendly and responsive.

Beginning of Summer Outing

My mom, my dog and I stayed here and had a blast. There was plenty of nature, hiking, antiquing, good food and small town charm for all of us to have a great time. I would highly recommend a visit and we will be back.
