Beautiful property secluded in the woods with lots of fun nearby. The house has everything you need for a getaway - kitchen is fully stocked, towels and blankets abound, washer and dryer on site and plenty of room to spread out or hang together. We loved the fire pit and the hammocks were a great additional surprise. This home made for a perfect family getaway while we were in the area for a family wedding.
