I loved this rental! This quiet getaway was perfect for a private birthday celebration! The lawns were well kept and the house was immaculately clean - I would definitely stay here again! It was also a plus to be so secluded, but still within a decent driving distance from excursions and the grocery store for last-minute items.

It was a cozy cabin off the road and exactly as pictured. Joanne was a great host. The area has so much natural beauty and enjoyed the Blue Sky winery just up the road
