Family Vacay
Truely loved this property, very cozy. Location was perfect for us and the orchard just down the road was an added bonus. The host was fantastic, we had issues on our part and she went above and beyond to help us. The yard is huge and our dog absolutely loved it, even chasing the bunnies., he didn’t catch any.. Definitely will be returning next visit.

A lovely, peaceful property. The house was immaculate. It was a perfect retreat for our multigenerational family between graduation events in Newark, DE. It was nice to be away from the crowds.

We were competing at an equine event at the Fair Hill NWR stabling area. This adorable house was perfect for our group of five adults and so close to the stabling area. Very clean, really comfy beds, and lovely hosts who were great with communication and organization. Highly recommend!

Most calm environment
The place was cozy and the house with its fenced yard and the community around was absolutely calm. We had work in Delaware... it was quite close and access to shopping and most centers in Delaware. Suited our family and dog very well. The icing on the cake was the large fenced backyard.. our dog loved it... ;-) Thank you very much...

Just what we needed!
We were in town for a dog show. The house and yard were so comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. The house was well equipped for our needs and the yard was fabulous for us and our dogs! Previous guests had not picked up all their dog’s waste in the yard, but we tried to leave it cleaner than we found it!
