Beautiful and secluded property. Home has lots of charm and incredibly well built. Great kitchen and outdoor space as we thoroughly enjoyed entertaining with our family. Great communication as we did encounter a few bumps and felt satisfied with the timely support.

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property and both houses were beautiful and as described. We only had one minor complaint; there was a lack of cutlery and cookware in both houses. The only other issue that we had didn't have anything to do with the either house but rather the gravel road they sit on. Cars and trucks speed up and down the road. We had multiple close calls while walking our dogs on the shoulder and grassy area across from the property. With that being said the property is beautiful and it's in a great location, we would stay here again.

This property is stunningly beautiful! All the detail that went into the design of the property was well thought out and planned! From the carport, to the rock sidewalk, landscaping and home design/decor! The porch is where our family spent many hours so relaxing as you could here the water rushing down the stream. Would absolutely stay here again! Thanks for Sharing your home with guest!
