Our family had a great stay. We also appreciated how family friendly it was with books and some toys perfect for our four year old. We also loved how the property backed right up against the park with an excellent play structure tennis and pickleball. It was super quite and just lovely to be in nestled in the forest but still close enough to take a quick trip into town.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Jack! We're delighted your family had a great stay—that makes us so happy to hear. The park access and peaceful forest setting really are special, and we’re glad they added to your experience. Hope to welcome you back soon!
Overall we had a great experience at this property. There were just a few hiccups when we were checking in we were not provided with the entry code or key beforehand and there is limited service where the property is so we had to use a hotspot to get in touch with the property owners. Once we sent a message though the property owners replied quickly. The property had everything we needed, the only thing was there were no blinds on the windows so at night anyone could see in. The parking situation was also confusing as to where to park because there is a separate living space on the property that someone else lives full time at and we accidentally blocked them in. She was very nice though and let us know to park behind one of the poles as a marker. All in all we had a great experience.
