Magical place to stay. Sits high among the trees overlooking the town. Beautiful rustic furnishings with plenty of space and privacy for our whole family. Enjoyed our visit immensely. It was a peaceful, relaxing vacation. We will be back.

There must be a new property management or something because they used to have a lot of towels there and it was very clean the last time we went in March. This time there was cobwebs in about every bathroom you can tell the cleaners are just surface cleaning. Two towels reach bathroom. I feel bad that the owners probably have not come in a while because also the roof has gutter issues. The gutters are so bad and have weeds growing out of it when you walk in the door. One of the weeds is so big that it’s probably3 tall on a gutter. If anyone of property management or cleaning people cared they would’ve addressed it, but you can tell they have not. We love the location, of course and had a great time with the family. It’s just sad to see it go downhill so quickly. I’m not gonna send all the pictures I have, but I do recommend the owners going to check it out. Thank you

Any type of requests or needs we had the Hosts were so easy to reach and responded quickly. They helped make our stay very enjoyable! Will definitely be back next year.
