This spacious house was perfect for a family of 8! The location is beautiful - private and out of town but close to everything we wanted to see and do. Only wish we had more time to further explore the trail that runs right by the property!

Beautiful area, saw several deer and chipmunks. We had problems finding enough linens for the number of people we had staying, and the water would wane out if more than one person was taking a shower. Overall, the property is clean and comfortable. I would stay here again.
