My friends and I stayed here for a weekend, and it was the perfect vacation home. There’s so much to do, especially if you enjoy being outdoors, and it’s only a short drive to nearby restaurants. We loved the hot tub and the pool table, and having TVs in each room was a great bonus. The hosts were very responsive, kind, and helpful throughout our stay. Some of us even went fishing, which made the trip even more fun. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a beautiful, clean property. The owners were prompt with communications, and quick to resolve anything. The house was as listed and in our opinion, better than the pictures. We had a very short stay but would love to return in warmer weather to enjoy all of the amenities of the community.

Michael and Ashleigh were great hosts. Super friendly and very available and attentive. Our family of 14 came to celebrate the 30th birthday of our twins! The kids all went snow tubing and sledding and we enjoyed having a fire outside and just enjoying the fresh air!! Such a great time!! Can’t wait to come back!!
S’mores by the fire!!
So much fun!
