The property was perfect. It met all of our needs and requirements. When we had issues with the internet our host was gracious and got right on top of it so that the problem could be resolved in a timely manner.
I'd like to rave about the property and I would if I had been there to relax. I was there to stage a sports event (orienteering) at Gold Head Branch State Park. I was busy. I think anyone would like how peaceful and quiet the property is, how comfortable are the beds, at least the king size one, and what a nice, powerful relaxing shower. Did not watch TV or cook or even go outside in the daytime but everything looked great.
Such a beautiful home with a fantastic view of the lake. Very quiet neighborhood for the perfect relaxing stay! They made my wife's birthday trip amazing and even left her a gift and a beautiful drawing from their daughter! Perfect location for a variety of activities, food, or entertainment.The hosts were amazing and were always available for anything we needed and made the whole process so simple and easy. Would very much recommend this stay and we plan on staying again!
We rented the place with 2 couples, very cute, clean and peaceful. Would defiantly rent again if ever in the area. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone to rent. Really enjoyed our time there just wish we had a little bit more time to enjoy the house.
