Great Time
The house is large and is a great place to go with a larger group. Check in was very easy and the host was responsive when we had questions. We all loved the pool of course, and there are a bunch of toys and floats already there. Having a washer and dryer on the property was also a nice bonus. The beds were all very comfortable. There is only a Keurig machine, so if you need actual coffee, bring a coffee maker. But there was a large variety of k-cups provided. Overall, the house the was perfect for us and we would definitely return.

Beautiful and Peaceful Family Retreat
Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us! Our family (three generations) made some wonderful memories in the pool, by the campfire, playing games, and hiking the beautiful trails. The property was absolutely beautiful all around and perfect for a peaceful family retreat in the countryside. Jamie was extremely responsive and helpful with anything we needed. We would highly recommend staying at this property!

great country get away
Old farm house with lots of character and charm, away from the hustle and bustle of city life! Communication with home owner was great and easy when i had questions or concerns. The kids really enjoyed the pool and the trails around the property were beautiful. I could see this being a great winter spot where snow shoeing, cross country skiing and winter hikes would be great! It was a fun getaway to unplug.

Really cool spot but felt like a first time rental with very little stocked.
I would love to give this property a 5 star. The pool was amazing. And it was such a cool property but there were some issues
1. This kitchen was barely stocked for cooking. There were no baking sheets or pans, 3 small bowls Very little to cook with. It was also not stocked with basics so we had to buy our own garbage bags, paper towel and dish soap which we weren’t aware of. The closest store is a gas station 30 minutes away so it was triple priced to get basic things. Had it been posted I would have come prepared.
2. There was no coffee pot besides a single keurig with some pumpkin spice cups. Again. Not an issue if we’re told this. So come prepared.
3. There was a broken smoke alarm that we alerted them to the night we arrived in a locked room. It beeped the entire 5 days we were there. We asked for it to be fixed and it never was. That plus a house alarm beeped the entire stay and was very loud in the one bedroom.
4. There were hundreds of dead ladybugs in the house. Again. I get this issue. But they were there when we arrived as the cleaning crew was leaving (they had the wrong arrival time posted). When first walking in all the windows and bathrooms were filled with dead lady bugs.
Last but not least for a house that sleeps so many there’s one sitting area and some chairs. Again. Not a huge issue. But it was a challenge for two families
All that the property is beautiful. The house has a ton of character. And the pool is amazing. Kids had the BEST time!
