This place is fantastic – exceptionally clean and easy to find, making for a smooth and comfortable stay. Access was a breeze, which is always a plus. The only thing to note is that it's about 40 minutes from Timberline Mountain. But overall, a great experience!

Such a perfect location between Smoke hole caverns and Seneca Rocks! Walking distance to the famous Triangle Rock! Very spacious house. We LOVED having coffee and conversation in the breezeway. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable! We even got to meet our host, and he was most accommodating! Will stay here again! Book with confidence!

Enjoyable getaway

We had a hard time finding the place, but thoroughly enjoyed it. The house was well built. It was a total throw-back to the 1970's. We mostly enjoyed star-gazing... the sky was so clear and full of stars. Great time!
