Wonderful! This property was perfect for relaxing, and enjoying the sounds of nature in the woods. The views from the deck are as they are pictured in the listing. Everything that we needed for a relaxing getaway was provided. This property is very well built, and maintained. The host's attention to detail is first rate. We highly recommend a stay at this retreat.
