Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect weekend getaway! We chose this location because it was close to Pretty Place. The rental was clean and very updated with lots of fun features! Melissa stayed in touch with me and made sure we had everything we needed!

Cozy cottage

I can’t say enough how wonderful this place is. The cottage had everything that I needed and is extremely close to town if you need to get supplies. The shower is amazing!!! The owner is extremely nice. She made sure I checked in ok and gave me a list of recommendations of places to eat. I definitely plan on staying here again.

Nice getaway

Overall good experience. The cabin is new clean and very modern. We all loved the bathroom and large shower. Peaceful remote location is what I was looking for. Complete with a white squirrel. Check in was a little confusing but another guest at the property gave us a number to call for a code. Wi-Fi was a little iffy and made it hard to watch TV. My only complaint is the insurance I had to buy has been a constant spam attack.
