Comfortable house with plenty of room
My group of three stayed here for the second time in November. The house is clean and has plenty of room. It is stocked well and is conveniently located for our needs. We will likely stay here again.

Nice stay
The property was exactly as advertised and perfect for our group of friends doing a weekend get away. The house was very clean and communication with the hosts was excellent. They were responsive and attentive. The house is on a quiet road and we were able to take a long walk (3 miles) each day.

Pleasant Home Away From Home
This was our second time staying here and we were just as pleased this time as we were the first. This is a very peaceful and relaxing home with the sweetest homeowners. If you need a getaway place to relax and just slow down a little, we definitely recommend this place! They have everything you need!

Wine and boating
Went to spend a few days on Lake Kincaid with friends. House was a few miles away but worked very well. Quite and relaxing. Also visited some wineries while we were there. House was clean and roomy.

Very nice, quiet stay
We loved the property! It was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was will stocked and had everything we needed for a long weekend stay with regular cooking. The covered parking was a nice bonus too. The property is away from most outdoor lights and the views of the night sky were pretty incredible. We also enjoyed that the property was surrounded by national forest land. Very convenient. We have already booked for next year!

Nice quiet location
Really enjoyed the large house and the huge yard that went with it. Beds were comfortable and the house was very clean! Wi-Fi was a life saver as we had no cell coverage. Kitchen was nice and had a good assortment of pans and cutlery. Sarah was very nice and easy to access if needed. Overall great stay and would definitely go back!

WONDERFUL!
We stayed here during the Grand American Trap Shoot. We instantly felt at home upon arriving in the night. The house was very clean and well equipped...I personally loved the vintage items. It was a cozy home away from home and Sarah was just the greatest!! We look forward to going back next year!
