Amazing Stay
My wife and I had an amazing stay here. It was incredibly relaxing and just what we were hoping for. The owner was so easy to communicate with and responsive when I had a question. One of my favorite parts was the incredible craftsmanship, design, and attention to detail inside the house. I’m kind of a nerd about that stuff and it just made our stay that much more enjoyable knowing you’re staying in a place that’s thoughtfully built and taken care of instead of just a shack for someone to make money off of. I plan on booking this place again when we visit again and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Tranquil, quiet and charming home right on the water. We saw two deers on our first night. The home is exceptionally clean and the host is just the kindest. Surprising us with a personalized note and flowers for our anniversary. The outdoor bathtub is perfect for soaking together, the shower large and water pressure was perfect. We had the most magical time. Definitely coming back with the kids once the larger home is complete to share the experience with them.
