So much to do!

We loved our stay! The hot tub was amazing. Nightly fires and s’mores at the firepit were fun. This is a lovely property with great amenities. Each bedroom had an en suite and all were similar sized (I typically find this difficult to find and my twins compete over rooms…this time everyone was happy!). Loved playing pool & pingpong with the family. Great memories were made. Communication was fantastic!! Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful stay and communicative host

Had a lovely stay. Everything was exactly as described.Got a nice call a few days before from Kristin explaining everything and making sure any questions were answered. Finding the place check-in was easy (note: google maps has the address slightly wrong... but it's just around the corner once you're there). Living space, beds, kitchen were all good. But the real star on a 0F evening was the hot tub! We had a wonderful time hanging out in the hot n cold. Thanks for the great stay!

Sunny Days and Peace Filled Nights

The house is elegant-- very tastefully designed and decorated and well organized. The windows and sky lights give a spacious feeling and you feel like you are outside inside. The view is beautiful. We enjoyed seeing the mist over the trees in the early morning hours. We came to just unwind. We had no schedule. It was a great retreat. The drawback to the house, if you are elderly, is 2 of the bedrooms are up a flight of stairs and one of the upstairs beds is quite high. I celebrated my 83rd birthday with my daughter and her friend at the house. It was awesome!

Wonderful Girlfriends Holiday

The house was beautiful! There were so many nice touches that made us feel right at home. We all enjoy cooking so we planned to make a lot of our meals at the house and the well equipped kitchen did not disappoint. The property the house sits on is gorgeous too. All of the amenities from the fireplace, hot tub, pool table, and outdoor area all made this a fantastic getaway.
