Great space and super cozy. Deck is wonderful to overlook the woods and enjoy the sun. Kitchen is minimal meaning no stove or oven but that is great for someone who just needs a microwave, fridge, and coffee pot. Definitely will return and love that it is pet friendly too!

The place was clean and comfortable, they provide everything you will need, even bubble bath. It’s a little unusual being at the bottom of a driveway behind another house, but was private and cozy.

Nice but need some TLC!

Property in need of care from front steps board loose and a tripping hazard to outdoor deck mat, pillows and turf needing replacing. Interior was fine but a mini-split w/b great for pm heat.
