10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
The previous reviews nailed it. Quaint little house with plenty of space. The property was easy to find, very clean, and was exactly what we were looking for as an overnight layover. I would highly recommend and definitely stay again if ever back in the area.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
Had a lovely stay for 4 nights. Did Elma days and the 5K and had a great time. It was wonderful seeing all the green and reconnecting with family. It was great for desert dwellers!!
