Home was even more beautiful in person! We will definitively be back. We had a several inches of snow while there and the owner came and plowed us out 4 times! There are little touches everywhere to make your stay more comfortable - toiletries, items in the kitchen, games and guides etc. Such an inviting home to just relax!

Really nice spot. Beautiful views! The place was very clean and quiet. We had our family thanksgiving there and the kitchen was perfect. My only criticism is that 3rd bedroom is not really a full bedroom. It could use a door or something.

Lost in the Woods

I can’t say enough about our stay. The home was very clean, the bed, pillows and towels were all very nice. The best part is the location. Secluded with beautiful views gave our family just what we needed this week. Great selection of games, the fire pit was wonderful for roasting smores and the animals visiting the front lawn was a treat. Highly recommended if you are looking for peace and tranquility.
