Wedding weekend

What a great little place! We had a family wedding in the area and we drove from Iowa and this was the perfect place to stay. My son and his friend drove up from Georgia to stay with us. I didn't realize there was not a TV or even internet! But guess what, we all survived! And we were too busy anyway. The Cracker Box, was neat and tidy, the hosts were the best!! Answered our questions quickly, and were very helpful! 5 stars all the way around! Bonus were the fresh blueberry muffins and fresh cream for our morning coffee!!

Perfect!

I grew up in the area so I knew it well. It was so nice to get back to the true country of dirt roads and farms. So peaceful and that was exactly what we needed due to circumstances of our visit. Kate was a wonderful host and so accommodating. Looking forward to more visits!

Great house in the country

We enjoyed our stay. It was exactly where we needed to be for a family party. There are few options in the area and this was fantastic. Clean, cute, well stocked and just what we needed for our visit. We will definitely look to stay there again.
