This place is a fun, unique rental with beautiful night skies filled with stars. Spacious deck with beautiful views. For a tiny home, it has all the amenities you would want. We went riding just outside of Georgetown. Georgetown is a wonderful small town vibe. Amazing sandwiches at the market. Call ahead they get busy!Ryker was great to work with. Thank you!!

Lovely, secluded spot with beautiful views. There are no over hangs or umbrellas for protection from sun or rain, so if it is very hot or rainy you will be stuck inside. The couch/chairs are comfy though so not a problem. It was a rainy weekend for us but fortunately the sun came out for most of the day on Saturday and we were able to enjoy the deck. The mini-splits (heating/cooling) are more than adequate for the space. A few extra blankets would have been nice as it was a chilly weekend. Shower/bathroom, kitchen area was all well appointed and in good working order. If you use Google GPS to get there, it does not take you quite far enough down the road and it feels confusing. You need to drive just a bit farther down the road to get to the well marked turn off to get to the house. If you do that it is very easy to get to. We were three friends just looking for a relaxing, cozy weekend to visit and catch up and this was perfect for that.

Good communication with the host, very prompt at getting back to us. However, we were given incorrect instructions on how to enter the premises. Spent 20 minutes walking around the property due to not having the correct instructions. Beds listed were a king and queen, however there was only a queen and full. Overall a nice property but a rather terrible check in process.
