This was a great property for our group of seven women….plenty of bedrooms and baths. House was clean, beds were comfy. We particularly enjoyed the living area as we spent a lot of time drinking coffee, laughing, and catching up by the fire. Unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there and we did not get to enjoy the lovely screen porch.

We had a wonderful extended family (ages 1-85) stay in this home. We loved the proximity to town, the common areas for gathering, the gas fireplace, and the ample bedrooms (with comfy beds) and bathrooms. (We even designated one bathroom into a bedroom for the one-year-old; that's how big the bathroom was!). Everything was clean and straightforward for our use. The host was very responsive. We would definitely stay in this property again.

Wedding Week

The accommodations were perfect to host the entire bridal party for our daughter’s wedding. The host communicated well and the house was very well stocked for whatever was needed. Location is perfect, minutes from downtown and all the things we needed to access throughout the week. Great stay, would definitely stay again!

We appreciated our stay! It was perfect for a large family since plenty of bedrooms with large beds and lots of bathrooms. The gathering places were nice, and we enjoyed the screen porches too. It was nice to have the extra parking space below for more cars too. Thank you so much.
