We had the best time calling this spot home for a few days while we explored Harrison and the Leota Trails! The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well appointed, and there was ample space for family games and relaxation! Mary was super helpful with the easiest check in and check out process. We will definitely be back!

Love this place and will definitely be back again. Not a high traffic area so that made it better. Huge firepit with plenty of room for chairs. Tvs in all rooms. Cameras outside for that extra security. (Some may not like that but we loved knowing they were there) Grocery stores nearby as well as good pizza places. Wilson state park for swimming. If you have toddlers bring plenty to do as there is good space outside for some fun. Saw plenty of deer, chipmunks and turkeys! All in all a wonderful stay with a very responsive host.

Mary is an amazing host. Responds very quickly when you have a question. Stayed in many VRBO’s and never have seen one stocked like this. Kitchen and bathrooms have everything you need. If we would have forgotten anything we would not have to leave the house to find it. Beds were extremely comfy and lots of towels! Felt like a home away from home. We arrived to a nice note and snacks left out for us. We stayed for CMU graduation weekend and probably will not be back in the area, but if we did we would definitely stay again. It was a wonderful stay…thank you so much Mary!!!
