Host is always very accommodating and house is well stocked. All the little things you might never think off packing for a trip are usually found on site.
Perfect place for a weekend get away, made good use of the covered patio with all the rain we had. Nice outside setting to gather for a few cocktails while grilling.
Best deal for the money. House was well stocked (pots, pans, even a Keurig) Host also provides paper towels, toilet paper and bath towels. Great comfy rooms and beautiful decor. Both comfy and classy. Plenty of room for a large group. Would definitely stay again.
The property was very adequate for our gathering. We were gone from the property for almost three different days to do an amusement park, The Grotto, wine tasting, and swimming/picnic at a local county park. We felt that the town was very small and we had to travel some distance to get anything we needed.

It’s always a good idea to check the distance between where you intend to stay and the events or places you intend to visit! Things can look close on a map yet the miles in between can take some time to cover. Sometimes our guests tell us why they are coming or what they intend to do and if the distance is considerable, we usually point that out to them so that they can determine if the location is a good spot for them to stay. Google maps is often my friend or even a quick question to Alexa can help in determining the distance.
We chose this due to the location but found out as soon as we went in it has so much to offer. Great floor plan layout for our bigger group and plenty of comfy beds. We booked our next stay before we even checked out!
We rented this house for our family get together. It was perfectly. Plenty of room, all of the furniture is in excellent condition, and spotless. Thank you for sharing this house! Would definitely recommend.
the property was as advertised. Only a slight problem with the lid on the toilet stool in the upstairs bathroom.

About the host
Hosted by Linda Kobliska
We have lived in the area for all of our lives and offer this and six other guest houses in the area. We also rent traditional housing--apartments and houses.
Why they chose this property
After purchasing and starting Grandma Z's (the guesthouse that is located directly across the street), this home became available and since it makes great sense to offer families two houses in close proximity, we purchased this home!
What makes this property unique
This is a relatively large home, with full kitchens, living and dining areas on both floors. Guests like the open floor plan of the main floor when gathering larger groups of people for holidays, etc. The home has five bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed. A supply of toys and board games is kept in the closet of a main floor bedroom. There is great pheasant and deer hunting in the area. A 25 mile plus bike trail starts four miles from this property. This community offers the benefits of small town living.
