This was such a fantastic little quiet getaway! We initially planned on tent camping this weekend, but with the rain, decided last minute to change plans, and I’m so glad we found this place! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Property

We had a wonderful stay here as a family of six. A beautiful and quiet setting. The children loved creek stomping and the toys, books and games provided entertainment on a rainy day. Both the fire pit area and the front porch provided great places to relax outside while the children played in the yard and on the playset. The host keeps a very clean property and has thought of lots of extras to make it a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

Everything was nice. One of the big things that need updated are the upstairs mattresses. They should be queen (not double) for 2 adults it’s not big enough and also they are very hard. Our backs were hurting.

The beds are on the firmer side, however some guests like it that way. Thanks for keeping everything neat and tidy.
