Awesome location, home is very clean and equipped with everything you need: extra towels, toilet paper and paper towels. The hot tub is the perfect way to unwind and you are guaranteed to have deer encounters with the creek in the back of the home.

Excellent hosts. The cabin is beautiful and has everything you need. We saw so many deer just hanging in the yard, was wonderful. There were so many nice details like soft blankets, plush towels, and great shampoo and conditioner. My family and I rent a house every year in different towns. We agree that we want to return to this one for the first time. We played corn hole, darts, and hung out on the porch.The driveway is steep but manageable.

5 people with dogs having a nice relaxing holiday!
We loved this! We had our 19, and 22 year old home from college and two dogs in tow. It was so great! The house super clean. Secluded but not too far out of the way! We lived the visiting deer in the yard and nearby rec center.

Perfect getaway
My husband, our infant and 2 dogs stayed here for a few days to enjoy the wineries nearby. We hit 5 wineries all 30 min or less away! The house was the perfect place. We loved the hot tub and the fenced in yard for our dogs. The amenities like pool m, etc are a ways away (~15 min) so we didn’t get to enjoy those, but nice to have. Would love to return! Easy check in and out.
