Wonderful Stay

It was so nice to stay at this property. Plenty of room for our 7 member family. Loved the layout of the house. We even had a campfire one night. Nice and private too. Didn’t have to worry about neighbors right next door. Highly recommend staying at this vacation rental!
Loved the back patio with the fire ring. Was great sitting around at night. Also played games in the back yard.

This house was spacious and perfect for our 8 coworkers! The grounds are spectacular. In our downtime there’s ping pong, basketball and a fire pit. It’s close enough to stores and highways but with no neighbors..just surrounded by corn!! Everyone had a wonderful time!

Simply wonderful!

In the area for a wedding, my sister, our husbands and four adult children thoroughly enjoyed our stay “Magnolia Cottage”. There was ample room to gather in both small and large groups throughout the home and or porch or back patio. The kitchen is spacious and nicely appointed. We enjoyed gathering around the fire pit in the evenings and spent most mornings on the covered porch enjoying coffee together! The area has multiple markets and other commercial options for grocery and various supplies. We loved our stay and recommend this property with comfort and confidence!
