Beautiful new home, in a very woodsy, quiet setting, with a great back porch view. Perfect set up for adults & children. 5 minutes from town. The road up to the house needs repaving, hopefully soon, but otherwise a terrific experience!

Spacious Lodge!

We will definitely be back to this house. The screened in porch with a fireplace was absolutely spectacular. Our kids loved the huge basement. The house was clean, all the modern amenities and extremely well maintained.

Fantastic Home

We really enjoyed the home. Clean, comfortable and well put together. It was a great experience and our boys really appreciated the Buck Hunter game downstairs! Town is only about a 3 minute drive and there are numerous hiking trails in the area. Highly recommended!
