4th of July Getaway

My spouse and close friends head upstate every year with our pups to get away from the fireworks in the city. Marcus’s home was the perfect respite. The house had everything we needed and was close to lots of restaurants, trails and the beautiful river. There were fireworks in the distance but the house was insulated enough that we could not hear them unless we were outside. Would definitely stay here again next year!

Summer Family Vacation

This house was amazing. The location was remote but still close to everything we wanted to see and do. The views from the roof and deck are spectacular with lots of wildlife to see. The house was extremely clean and a great layout for our family. We could all have our own space yet still be able to come together to play games, listen to music or sit around the fire.

Relax on the deck

This is a great property, and Marcus was a wonderful host. They have done a lot of landscaping since purchasing the house last fall and it was wonderful to sit on the deck. We were fortunate to have great weather except for one rainy day. As others have noted, the kitchen is small, and the dishwasher is only half size. While it was great to sleep in the loft among the trees, there is no bathroom up there, in case you have to go in the middle of the night. Also, no privacy if your family and friends are not respectful. We are planning a return visit in the fall if we can!

Cozy Place in the Woods

Marcus was a great host! Clear and very helpful. The pictures did not do it justice on how lovely the place is. It felt lived in but we also didn’t feel like we were intruding. The calming wood fire smell greeting us when we came in set the mood for the rest of weekend. To be frank though we didn’t feel comfortable grilling cause some of the fire guards in the grill had some rusty holes. The silver lining though was we were able to use the fire pit out back to cook some bratwurst (Highly recommend). The next day we went to town and only hung out for a bit till the cold weather motivated us to hunker back in the cabin. No one slept upstairs but I would recommend that when you cook anything in the kitchen to open the windows up there to avoid your bed smelling like the food you cooked. We WILL be coming back! Love the place and the time we had! Thank you Marcus! We also appreciate the board games provided and had lots of fun playing and relaxing!

Cozy stay surrounded by trees

We had an absolutely lovely stay. The place was clean and smelled amazing. The loft with the king size bed has many windows and a beautiful view of the trees surrounding the cabin. The kids loved the bedroom with the small loft and took turns sleeping up there. The kitchen which was small, but well-stocked and a sufficient size to prepare our meals. There were plenty of board games for any boredom and lots of blankets for extra warmth. We really enjoyed having a fire in the evenings. We had a winter storm come through and lost power, but since they have a whole house generator, it wasn’t a problem. The area had some great places to visit - we enjoyed driving around a seeing some of the small towns, visiting a waterfall, and going out to eat. The communication with the owner was some of the best I’ve ever experienced. He was very quick to respond and quite helpful when we had an issue. Overall, one of my favorite places we’ve stayed!

Relaxing with stunning views

I am not sure how to put into words how beautiful this house and property are. The house itself was immaculate, so well maintained and set up for maximum relaxation and enjoyment. There were multiple levels, with privacy and places to sit and rest. There were 3 large beds (I think Queen size) for easily 6 people to stay. In addition there was a loft area with two pull out beds that I think are best for younger kids to stay. You could go up on the roof and see a 360 degree view of the area which was stunning. Everything was covered in snow and it was quiet and comforting. We waked along the road with our baby dog and she had the best time running and playing with all the sticks. Each night we had a roaring fire in the fireplace and watched our favorite streaming shows. The kitchen had every utensil you could ever need and a beautiful large gas stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. The market was a short ride away and had anything you could ever need. Tips: You have to have a four wheel drive at this time of year. It was super icy and I am not sure we could have gotten to the house without it- but it was exceptionally icy and below 15 degrees this weekend.Bring enough firewood to last your stay so you don't have to go get more. If you are going with 3 couples, be aware one of the bedrooms is open in a loft to the living room. It is by far the most beautiful place to sleep but not if someone is partying below.Marcus was a dream to work with and made everything super clear.

Beautiful Clean Property and Great Hosts!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It is private and quiet, surrounded by trees. The house was clean and comfortable. Emily and Stephen were always responsive to our questions and very friendly! My only two "items of caution" would be 1) you will not have great cell phone service, BUT the wifi is good so there are ways around that, and 2) if you have all adults in your party and more than 3 couples, some will be more or less sharing sleeping spaces. Also, 2 of the beds are in a loft that requires a climb up a ladder to get to. This was not an issue for us as we were traveling with our adult children (mid 20's) and they were fine with the accommodations. That said, this was overall a very positive experience for us and we would recommend this property!!
