Our stay was great! June-2026. The home was perfect for us! It was very clean inside and fully stocked with whatever you might need! So much so that the kitchen had no room to put things in cabinets that we brought with us, dry food wise! This property is in the woods and brings with it all that the woods has to offer, animals, birds, ticks and bugs(mosquito)! We were aware of this coming in and didnt plan on spending much time outside on property, although it does have a grill and fire pit! The house came with a supply of bug spray by the front door also which was great! We had a great week and this location made it easy to go wherever we wanted quickly but also be away from the busy downtown area! We would definitely recommend and stay here again!
