This property is beautiful. Clean, spacious and a perfect place for my family and I to stay this weekend. Mollie was very accommodating to our schedule which allowed us to spend as much time as we could with our college daughter. We will definitely book here again!

We really enjoyed this house out in the country. Very clean and well stocked. Wish the weather had been better so we could have utilized the grill and fire pit - but it was very cozy to hunker down with books and puzzles. Highly recommend.

A mirror in the sunken dressing room would be a nice addition.
