Comfortable and Relaxing Home in the Woods

Our family greatly enjoyed our stay at this home in the woods. It was fun to watch the turkeys and the birds. The beds were very comfortable and the space was great for hanging out and enjoying our family, including our 3yo granddaughter, both inside and out. Very quiet neighborhood near town. We also thoroughly enjoyed attending the 4th of July festivities.

Perfect family reunion, grandma's 80th birthday celebration. Spacious inside and out

This beautiful home met all of ourexpectations and the outside wooded grounds, trees, privacy far surpassed what we could have hoped for. We gathered from 3 different parts of the world (flatlanders) and we loved the very private spaciousness, habitate for deer, birds even wild turkeys.The hot tub was a bnus. In a word our stay was Perfection..and we loved Julian. We highly recomend this beaitiful home and definitely would return. Thank you, John, our Host, for being so accommodating and sharing this bit of heaven with us.

Beautiful Cabin!

Second time staying here. Lovely location. Plenty of room for everyone to hang out, play games and watch TV. Dog run area is a big plus. Fishing close by at lake and easy walks around the neighborhood. Christmas treat for certain!
