Cute

The stay was great. It was very clean, comfy and cozy. Had all the amenities we needed. It was a little hard to find the exact house at night, the house itself didn't have numbers on it and the mailbox was further away at the end of the long driveway. It was near a lake but not on the lake.

Very clean and very friendly host highly recommended

Rhiannon is an amazing host and was very prompt responding to any questions I had. The property was beautiful, and very clean making it very relaxing and homey for the two of us staying there. I plan to be back in the future as it was so comfortable and would love to take the kids there.
