The house was in a nice area close to parks for outdoor hikes. It was very clean and had pretty much everything you needed for cooking.

The home was perfect for the four of us (two couples) The home was as described and well stocked with towels, beddings, dishes and kitchen supplies. The deck and patio were perfect to relax on after a day of hiking in the Shawnee National Forest. We will definitely stay again if we are in the area.
