This was our third visit to this property! We love it - the serenity, the coziness, the seclusion, everything about it! The host added some new furniture this time: bedding and living room couches, to name a few. It is the perfect atmosphere to absolutely unwind; although, there is abundant cell service and Internet so it’s there if you need it. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and that is one of the many reasons we enjoy it! The host always replies quickly to any inquiry! The perfect getaway!

We had nine guests for the holidays here. This modern style home has a spacious layout for entertaining. The pond in the back yard is beautiful, surrounded by trees. We appreciated the nice hot tub, large dining table, spacious bedrooms, and cleanliness of this home. It is one of the cleanest homes we've ever rented. It definitely met our needs and would recommend it for a relaxing, private getaway with enough space for entertaining a larger group.

This is the first time we've rented a place to stay coming from out of state and this place could not have been more PERFECT!! The owner thought of just about everything anyone could ever want or need. It was very clean and comfortable, relaxing, enjoyable, just PERFECT! Thank you so much for letting us come and stay while we attended family reunion events there in Galax. You made us feel so welcomed and you were so helpful with the checking in and checking out. The family members who came with us loved being there and said they would give it 10 stars review! It was so wonderful, and we hope that you'll let us come again some time. Thank you! Again, it was PERFECT!

We stayed here last year when we came to spay and neuter in Galax with our mobile clinic and enjoyed the hot tub after long days. Slept well in comfortable beds, and cooked in well stocked kitchen and ate around the big table.

Very nice quiet location

When it says secluded that it is. Very nice & quiet to be able to watch the deer around the pond & listen to all the other wildlife. They only thing we thought was they could of brought in a little fill in some spots cause if you would go one side of the driveway in the dark you would of fell off to a deep hole
