Roomy house with a great location surrounded by pine trees. We stayed here with our adult children and granddaughter and there was plenty of room for everyone. It's well stocked and we were able to cook for the family. We picked this location so we could spend some time at Silverwood Theme Park, which is just a few miles away. It worked out perfectly and we plan to stay here again in the future.

Fantastic location near silverwood theme park!

This property was a little off the beaten path but less than 10min from silverwood theme park. Great location for our family as we were there for park fun. Kitchen was well stocked, house was homey, very quite and private. Wonderful backyard where my granddaughters indulged on their raspberry bushes. Beds were a little on the hard side, but very clean and plenty of linens.Property host was very responsive and flexible. I asked late after the booking if i could bring my dogs and there was no problem adding them. Very accommodating. Its not fancy but clean and well kept.id recommend to a friend and would book again.

Our communication with the host was good, friendly and informative. From the outside, we were a bit nervous about the place when we arrived. The back yard - once we found it - was lovely and we spent time out there relaxing. The amenities - all the supplies - were great. The house inside was dated, and while clean, the furniture in the living room and the carpet in the one bedroom need to be replaced. The location was good for our visit to the theme park. If the front area (where you park) was cleaned up and made more inviting, I'm sure the initial reaction would have been much better. Thanks to the host for letting us stay. We felt comfortable and were able to relax and enjoy our time together.

So Relaxing

This property was very clean and perfect for our needs. Very spacious, lovely yard to BBQ and relax in and extremely close to SILVERWOOD theme park. Took literally minutes to get to and from park and grocery store just down the road a few miles.

Perfect Silverwood Vacation Rental

We had a great time on our trip to Silverwood, and it was in large part thanks to this great rental! It has all the amenities we could have wanted. It’s in a secluded, peaceful location, yet still very close to Silverwood. Overall, fantastic.

Silverwood Gey Away!

Entering the house from back door I noticed the beautiful green lawn, which we played corn hole while grilling. The House was well supplied, and the Host Joe was very easy to communicate with. Me and my wife had a couple of grand kids and made this location a gem for Silverwood goers. This was a great stay.

Perfect little getaway

Comfortable and inviting home with an awesome back patio/yard to hang out and relax in. Great place to disconnect from technology and unwind. WiFi is not awesome, but if you have Starlink you can bring with you (as we did), you can set up and use high-speed internet for whatever you might need. Love this place - would definitely request to stay here again.

A quiet setting and gracious host

We needed an extended stay for our unique situation and Joe and Joshua were the best hosts! The house is comfy and well proportioned even for a family of five with pets. All the amenities were there for a longer stay, and the location is perfect for a short commute to CdA. The backyard is lovely and serene and there was plenty of parking for multiple vehicles and even our storage trailer and boat! We are so grateful to have found this place and the wonderful accommodating hosts!
