10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
This was 1/2 way between me and my PA family so we chose to meet here! What a great escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We spent the days relaxing and enjoying nature and the evenings by the fire pit and nights playing games and putting puzzles together. Great space and enough room for everyone! If your looking to escape to nature and spend some quite down time this is your spot! We will be back!

We decided to rent this home for our annual ladies trip to the Highland County Maple Festival. We took advantage of the nice weather and enjoyed the new patio furniture. We had 11 ladies in the house and the space was adequate for our needs.
