What I liked about this property was how easy it was to book and check in, the absolutely majestic location with all of the beautiful flora surrounding the property and the quiet. The house itself is very open with many big windows in the kitchen and living room areas so you can bask at nature while cooking or relaxing. I simply love this place. Everything was clean and comfortable. Slept like a baby in the awesome bed. Finally, the host was responsive and available if I needed him. Definitely recommend this place one of the best I’ve stayed at over the past 8 years! Dan

Great getaway

The house was neat and clean and the property is absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed exploring the area. Sharon is a lovely town. Our host greeted us upon arrival and was available if we had any questions. He even brought our dog a bag of treats. Definitely dog friendly, with lots of room for your pooch to roam. We look forward to returning.

Joyful Solitude

If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful place to restore your sanity, look no further. Me and my dog (who hates fireworks) came up here for the July 4th weekend and found an incredible place to hideaway. The grounds are perfectly maintained and we enjoyed long walks around the property, sitting on a porch and listening to the birds and murmur of the wind in the trees.
