Beautiful getaway
We fell in love with the house the minute we drove up the driveway. The host left coozies with snacks. The wild flowers out front were so beautiful. There were butterflies, a hummingbird, tons of birds and a chipmunk. The kids loved the playroom. We played bumper pool, darts and they enjoyed watching TV in there. In the living room we found Yarzee and played a round. The queen size bed was so comfy. The laundry came in handy so we didn't have to bring as many clothes. We sat on the porch every morning looking at the river. In the evenings the lightning bugs were the most amazing sight I have ever seen. Overall I would highly recommend to anyone who plans to stay in the area.

Fantastic cottage overlooking the river
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Scenic Escape. The home was clean and the host had thoughtfully provided extra amenities. The guys loved playing darts and bumper pool. The home has a large deck which overlooks the river. The area is peaceful and quiet. We loved the wildflowers with butterflies and bees during the day. And the lightning bugs at night were a sight to see. The host was very responsive. The book provided by the host gave us local recommendations and home instructions which made everything easy and enjoyable. We highly recommend this home and look forward to staying again if we are ever in the area.

Get away
Isolated as I wanted. Wi Fi was hit and miss and so was cell service but that was okay. Wish I received check out instructions before we arrived. Did not receive them until we left since Wi Fi was spotty. Overall a good stay.
