Perfect getaway spot

A group of friends and I had stayed at this location for a school event for the weekend. The house is located in an adorable, remote area. It had beautiful scenic views and one of the most beautiful ceilings. The owners were amazing as well and made the check in and out process so easy. Their communication was unmatched to any other. We were honestly sad to have to leave. We will definitely try to come back for the next time we have to come.

Adult getaway

We take an adult weekend once a year. We had such a good time. The house was clean, spacious, and exactly what we needed for a long weekend. I had to message the owner,and she was so quick to respond. We would definitely recommend the house.
