The house is exactly as advertised. It’s quite set back and off the beaten path with nice trails right off the property. It had a cute fire pit and BBQ that were available to use as well. The house was well equipped in the kitchen with basics like coffee, sugar, S&P, etc.

This place was exactly what we were looking for. Quite with nobody around. We saw all sorts of wildlife; deer, turkey, chipmunks, and others. However, my 86 year old dad kept hoping he would see a bear . The property owners/managers were always prompt with answers to my questions. My only complaint was the driveway off the road. It was always a bit of a struggle to get my truck to make such a tight turn off the roadway. I was hoping to stay for A day in August but sadly it is already booked. I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful, secluded site!

If you're looking for a nature retreat, this is the place! The house is a bit off the beaten path - off a small windy road, down a long gravel driveway, and completely secluded. Each day I saw multiple deer, turkeys, tons of birds... It was lovely. There's a great patio table, and sunny room with a table inside. The house is spacious - with a huge sectional to lounge on. There's two bedrooms with queen beds, and a third bedroom off one of the two bedrooms with a trundle bed. It wasn't completely clear in the description, but basically there's more beds than you'd expect. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans. I didn't find bowls, however. I also didn't locate a hair dryer. Having access to laundry on my long road trip was helpful. Temperature was easy to control with the dual systems mounted in each room. Only negative - there were air fresheners plugged in everywhere. This wasn't ideal for my allergies. I unplugged them and didn't notice any odors after 2 days, but just be forewarned.
