We had a lovely time at this property. It was nicely decorated and equipped in all rooms. The hot tub worked well and was very enjoyable. The bed was comfortable and the entire home was clean. We enjoyed the porch and the quiet surroundings and views. My only suggestion for improvement would be about the couch/futon in the living area. It is not very comfortable, even for the short time we watched a movie. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will seriously consider returning.

My husband, 9-yo son, and I spent a long weekend here so we could go white water rafting. This house was an absolute little slice of heaven. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. There were tons of puzzles and games available, which my kiddo and I had a blast playing. The hot tub was a special treat! We enjoyed sitting on the porch and exploring in the woods on the property. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area in the future.
