Wonderful Rental!

What a beautiful rental! We had everything we needed (and then some) and the view in the backyard is absolutely amazing! This rental sleeps a lot but we each still felt like we had our own privacy with the many separate rooms. We would absolutely recommend this rental to anyone.

Pretty good

House was clean and comfortable. The property was listed as having 6 bedrooms but there were only 5. There was not enough toilet paper for our entire stay. The dishwasher made loud noises, the ice maker froze solid, and the coffee maker didn’t heat the pot. None of this was too bad but just a little inconvenient when those were things we expected.

Cabin in the Woods

This was a great location for us. The host was very responsive and the cabin cute and clean. The location is well off any busy roads and was nice and quiet. Deer passed through the property every morning as we had coffee on the deck. I would not hesitate to return to the cabin. Thank you.
