Disliked: Cleanliness
It’s a nice place, but we did have a problem. The upstairs shower leaks into the downstairs shower. The ceiling was stained so it’s obvious it’s been going on for a while. So if you’re taking a shower downstairs you will have moldy leak water in the shower with you. We had 7 people and one usable shower. I messaged the host and he was already aware, but we were not given a heads up. We paid premium price and expected premium accommodations.

Definitely Secluded

Fantastic property! Only significant issue was the stairs. Steep, narrow and no hand railing. Challenging for older folks. Fire pit and outside seating and kitchen were outstanding. Had so much fun . Thank you!

Beautiful & Peaceful Getaway!!!

We all enjoyed the beautiful home. Everything was thought of that we would not have realized we needed. The home was decorated for Christmas which made the stay extra special. Communication with the host was exceptional. This property is well secluded and tranquil. I could go on and on what a wonderful experience. We will be back!
