We absolutely loved staying here. Check in/out was super easy, the house was super clean and cozy, and the balcony has the most beautiful view. I loved how tucked away the property was and we enjoyed watching the deer/birds come and visit us. I highly recommend this property!!

My hubs and I, along with our dog, really enjoyed this quiet place. It felt pretty secluded, and was decorated really cozy. And it was so clean! We cooked just a little and the kitchen had quite a few items to help out. We didn't do much outside of walks and visit the lake, as this home provided us space and place to relax and chill. There was a binder put together containing attractions and things to do should one want to journey out and about. I would enjoy staying here again!

Overall it was an amazing stay, however there were just a few things that really stood out as needing improvement.-Driveway: i know thats out of your control, but a warning about the narrowness of the driveway itself and possibility of scraping the bottom of low cars on the listing would be appreciated-Privacy: the side green door would benefit from a curtain since it gives a direct line of sight into the kitchen, which can be unnerving at night-Security: the latch of the side green door is not secure at all. Me knocking on the door was enough to knock the latch inside loose, leaving the only lock being the latch outside. I would reccomend switching the large latch outside to the inside or some other mechanism

Beautiful, peaceful and unique property! We loved our stay. It was very relaxing. Deer, hummingbirds, and even little kittens were on the property. The only negative thing would be the driveway had pretty sharp corners and was hard to get in/out in an F250. But still was possible. We loved our stay and would stay again.

Hill top house

We absolutely enjoyed our visit. The house is very well stocked with everything that you would need, and then some. There is food for the deer and birds. There is plenty of wild life that visits the property. We had seven bucks pass through a couple of times. There were three doe and a spike that would hang out for long periods. Got to see a fox and some roadrunners come through.

I'm in love with this property. The house is so cute and has so much character. It was exceptionally clean. The host has provided anything you could need, or forgot to pack! The view is breathtaking, and the back yard is a litlle slice of heaven. Very serene and relaxing. The nearby restaurants have amazing food.

Great trip!!!

We had a wonderful trip at this cottage. The view was amazing. The steps going up and down to the house were a bit of a challenge due to knee problems for both my husband and myself. Loved having the balcony with a gate for our dog to lay outside. Love seeing the deer come around. Will be back soon. Loved our stay there. Lots of pet friendly restaurants close by. Thank you Sandra and Jose.

Rustic Hideway

The property was neat and clean and had everything we needed. Completely enjoyed the deer. Only drawback is lots of stairs and steep terrain for us. However, we did enjoy our stay.
