Nice Place

Nice place with everything we needed for a quick and easy stay. Communication was great, I was sent all the info in advance and didn’t need anything during our stay. And it was so convenient to have a closet big enough for a pack and play!

Family Gathering

Was nice, good location and inside was nice and clean. Was a bit challenging with older adult with mobility issues. Managed but downstairs bathroom was a bit difficult. Steps out front also that we were prepared for. Love the setting and spent fair bit of time on decks and yard. Decks and yard could have used a bit of attention but nothing that stopped us from enjoying them.

Family stay

Everything inside was great and upstairs master bedroom was perfect for our daughter and son in law with their new baby. Only challenge mom who has mobility issues. We managed but it was difficult at times. No complaints as we expected that somewhat but good to know if your in that situation.

Perfect!

This home is perfect for a very relaxed stay. The location in a very nice small town makes it easy for obtaining any supplies you could use. Nice shopping and easy town to get around in. day trips to interesting places are easy. The property is modern, clean, well furnished and quiet. We enjoyed watching the deer walk past with their fawns and seeing ducks in the stream. All in all a great place.
