The house has three very comfortable bedrooms, and plenty of comfortable seating in the living room. The deck and deck furniture were amazing, we didn’t have the opportunity to utilize it other than eating a couple quick meals at the table. The hosts were easy to work with and accommodating to our last minute change of plans. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful! I was visiting my daughter and her family and what a wonderful home to stay at for my visit! The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need to cook. There was a beautiful deck in the back. The grill was ready to go with a full propane bottle. The owner had plenty of coffee and creamer, paper towels, toilet paper, travel size soap, shampoo, and conditioner. I felt very much at home. Greg was wonderful at communication, there was a snowstorm while I was there and he was always in touch to make sure the driveway and steps were cleared. I’ve already booked my next trip!
