This house was absolutely perfect for our group of 8 adults! It was in a great location, close to downtown. Everything was clean and well thought out! All of the small details, coffee bar, linens, Smore's package was so thoughtful and we really enjoyed it! Also, loved the downstairs area with all of the games! We will definitely be back! Thank you for letting us stay!

The host is amazing and they make sure their guests are taken care of. The house worked out great for our family of 12 (8 adults 4 kids) getaway. They definitely go above any other place I have stayed. Plenty of stuff we needed for the 18 month old like pack n play & other necessities.

A Great Place to Stay

The house was just what we needed for our Christmas get away with friends! It was very clean, nicely decorated, organized, and had many thoughtful touches left for us. The downstairs gameroom provided hours of fun for both the kids and adults!

Wonderful house! We enjoyed the game room. The kitchen was perfect as we cooked 6 meals! We played many games of cards at the huge table! Because of going up and down the stairs, I worked off all of the calories from the great food we had.

Waldhaus

We had a great time! The property and its location are beautiful. There is something for everyone to do (pre-teens to adults) and the home itself has everything you could ever need. Safe and quiet, but close to town. We would absolutely come back again!

Mom's 78th birthday!

My family and I, really enjoy our 7-day stay here, for a long relaxing celebration. I had researched possible locations to stay in the area, and this looked to be the best. Great location, nice cabin, and consistently good reviews. When we arrived, we were happy to find that it was everything we expected, and more. The cabin was super clean, cozy, and nicely decorated. There wasn't a single issue or concern the entire time we were there. We will definitely be staying here again when we come back to the area in the future. Highly recommended!!

Perfect

I rent a lot of vacation homes and I don’t believe I’ve ever stayed in a rental this clean. Also, everything we could need was there. It was very good quality items too. They went out and beyond to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. Things no other rental has ever provided. Perfectly accommodating. Thank you so much for the warm personal welcoming touches. Such a nice surprise.
