 Verified We absolutely loved our stay! The location was beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing getaway from the city. We especially loved the balcony views, the fire pit under the starry sky, and seeing the horses nearby.The house was exceptionally clean, beautiful, and cozy. We loved the large windows, the lovely furniture, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The bedrooms were comfortable, and we slept really well. Everything was well thought out, and the house had all the essentials we needed, including coffee, toiletries, and everything for making s’mores.

 Verified We had such a nice reset staying at this home. It was secluded but close to town and everything we wanted to do on our trip. The home was very clean, stocked with lots of kitchen needs, had awesome amenities, including the game room! The host was very responsive for anything we needed. She was also kind enough to introduce our toddler to her horses and dogs. Would definitely recommend this stay!

 Verified Me and my friends had a great stay here this past weekend! The cabin was very clean and the scenery is sooo nice! The power went out for a little bit, completely out of their control of course, but even then they were right on it, responsive, and got the power back on super fast. No complaints at all ! Would definitely stay here again!

 Verified This house is ideal for walking to Frog Level and Main Street, where parking can sometimes be a challenge. The place was very clean, modern, well decorated, and well stocked. The grill and gas fire pit were a nice touch. The host was responsive at all times.The house is in close proximity to a couple of other homes with a shared driveway/parking area. None of that was a negative, especially because the large back porch is very private.We will definitely stay again when we’re back in the area!
