We were so thankful to find a nice place to stay in a very busy time of year.
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2022
Really loved the place. Quiet, quaint and comfortable. Everything was functional. Kitchen had comforts of home including wonderful home baked banana bread for each of our 2 days. Bathroom had a jacuzzi tub, but not a shower. The weather was comfortable so we did not even turn on the ac or heat. Slept with windows open. We are country folk so the neighbors rooster crowing at 5:30 was a comforting nature sound. Had the windows been closed and a/c on we might not have even heard it. If you are seeking a quiet natural setting, this is a good place. The 4 star for ease of check in was because it could use a little more noticeable address at the front gate. The gate lock was a bit tricky but did work. The 4 star on cleanliness was more for aesthetics. Well water in the toilet bowl gave it a dirty appearance. Not sure how that can be avoided with well water.

It really was gorgeous. The property owner actually provided SNACKS! A few issues. Well water, so no water pressure - no shower only a tub so didn't shower/bathe for 3 days due to water pressure. Wifi password was not accepted - kept wifi off the entire time. It was 10 miles in the boonies. A gate I had to undo and redo every time I cane or went. Also there is a house right next door so not sure if that is sometimes rented separately but that would just be awkward.
