8/10 Good
"Wonderful weekend visit. We stayed here to visit Wolf Pen Gap. Close proximity, we were able to ride from the property and join the trails. Plenty of parking for our vehicles and trailers.The house was spacious, we only had 4 people, but could have had more comfortably. Plenty of rooms and space to hang out. Very clean and I love that it was pet friendly, including dog kennels and food bowls. I enjoyed coffee on the front porch both mornings and it was quiet and peaceful!The only complaint I would make is that the air conditioning unit was quite loud. Made meals and games at the dining table a bit difficult. However, in this hot summer heat, it did its job as the house stayed nice and cool!"
