We needed a place for a wedding nearby! The property was very nice, decorated very cute, had all the essentials & was very clean! Would definitely recommend. They even had kids toys & a swing set which was very nice for the kids!!
The place is adorable and very comfortable. Things we especially appreciated were the super cute and tasteful decor, the fully stocked coffee bar (including travel cups & lids!), the front & back porch areas, location (lovely wooded winding drive leading to the property), and the FAST response from the host any time we had a question. I should also add the place was spotless. We fully enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to come back!
This property was especially nice.Very clean and perfect go 2 couples and air mattress for 2 little boys. Kids loved the swings out doors. the little blue door had everything you need and would recommend this place.Linda Little
We loved the house it was perfect for us we want to stay again next year we do the 127 yard sale trip every year and this by far is a best pick we did so far so that is awesome very close to 127 south and that was very convenient for us as well but thank you for letting us stay the shower was amazing also.

The house was fine, overall. Beds and pillows were fine for one night - I would suggest bringing your own pillow if staying longer. Unfortunately, the air mattress we requested wasn't out and there were no sheets/pillows to use for it. Also, we were told there was coffee provided, but there were only 2 k-cups for three adults. I would have brought my own, if I had been aware. The creamer provided is expired, as well.
