This is a beautiful area, and a lovely cottage. We ended up arriving a little late, but the host was very accommodating. Everything we needed was available. Towels, linens, pots & pans.

Loved the fire pit and the hot tub. The hot tub wasn’t very hot though. It was set at 93 or four and we weren’t allowed to turn it up. The place was fairly clean, except the window blinds needed a good cleaning. We had a great time.

ok but not spectacular

The house was clean but overall pretty run down and nothing like the pictures on the website. The beds weren't very comfortable. There wasn't any soap in the shower and the site didn't specify to bring that. Usually places have soap. The internet didn't work for most of our stay and there was a cable missing for the DVD player so we couldn't even watch a movie. I probably wouldn't stay there again unless it was super cheap.

Clean, just close to road & lots of spiders

Cleaned very well. Closer to road than we had anticipated. Had lots of spiders which our younger daughters had a hard time with. Hot tub had some issues but the guide book helped us through those. Excellent info provided in the book. Kitchen well stocked.

Outdated and forgotten

I fell in love with the photos of this house. But these photos are old. I understand that with this house being in the country there are going to be pests and such but this was a horirble experience. We didnt get to use the hot tub because of the bees. The water also looked green. There were wasps upstairs so my kids couldnt even sleep up there. We all ended up sleeping in the living room.. The front bedroom was creepy to my whole family. I also never got a checkin email from the host. I had to call them for the code for the lock box. They never told me i had to go to the adventure shop. Everything from our trip was great except for anything to do with the house. house.

Felt like home!

Our little home away from home was so cozy! Everything the property owner explained was accurate. We did experience no wifi, but they had just had tornadoes come through. The hottub is VERY hot, so we had to let the top be off for a bit before we could get in. The beds were comfortable & clean. And the onsite laundry was very convenient! We were at every destination within about 30minutes of the house, but for the price we didn't mind at all.

Nice Basic Rental House

House was older and did show its age in a few different ways. But provided us with everything needed for a quick family trip. Pretty quiet in the house and around even with traffic coming by on the road. Perfect house for an inexpensive no frills relaxing trip.

Fit Our Needs for the Weekend

The house was fine, in a good location, close to parks, fishing, outdoor activities. This house is a little worn, but clean and comfortable. There were a issues with the hot tub not being clean and maintained, and there were wasps and hornets nesting it.

A nice place to stay

It is a lovely house. Plenty of space. It was pretty clean. It was in the center of all of the places we wanted to go. If I had to give one downfall, it would be the hot tub. The lid was in two pieces, the water was filled with what was likely pieces of the lid so it looked pretty dirty, and the lid was filled with a pocket of water making it heavy. Wasps were making their home in the hot tub. Other than that, it was a nice old farmhouse.

mice in stove and family room

Cleaners did good job with linen but mice were a problem throughout our stay. Mice Running on and in stove the first night even with traps set . One sad mouse caught and hobbling around with trap on his body. Just awful. Slow response from Owners. Unit was said to be 3 bedroom however it is a 2 bedroom with a open area at the top of the stairs where 2 twin beds were placed, not really a bedroom. No privacy. We called because first floor bed room overhead lite and fan would not work, but they did not fix it--also a non working floor fan that was useless. Dehumidifier totally filled with water in living room. Nice hot tub but older lid is ripped up and very heavy to remove. I would never recommend anyone to stay here.
