My family and I very much enjoyed our stay in Bayse. The house is well equipped and we had everything we needed. We'd be glad to stay there again in the future.
This cozy cabin was the perfect place for a reunion of friends and their families. We appreciated the amenities, including 2 fire pit options, toys, games and record playing station, as well as a well stocked kitchen. The surrounding scenery was gorgeous and the cabin was located close to some hiking trails and a brewery.
Didn’t know much about the area but came to meet up with friends from NC since it is about the same distance for both of us (coming from Philly). The house was beautiful. You can tell it has been meticulously updated. There was plenty of space for me and my husband, along with our toddler and my friend and her 4-year-old daughter. Communication was easy and reliable.
