First time I have done anything like this and it was perfect! Great secluded property and amenities the family loved to see the animals they have also. 100% recommend

The host reached out to us multiple times leading up to our stay to make sure we were set. The property was wonderful. We took several short hikes back behind the property with gorgeous views. The home itself was well maintained and stocked. We had a wonderful time staying here!
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
Our stay was with extended family. There were 3 separate families with mostly older kids. 4 large bedrooms housed all the adults. There were two bedrooms downstairs with multiple beds to accommodate all the teenagers. The main area is large and definitely big enough to spread out. The kitchen was a dream with the extra back kitchen/butler pantry which allowed enough room for us all to be working and eating without bumping into eachother. There were 3 large refrigerators so we had plenty of room for food. The grounds were simply amazing! Better than expected. Quiet and large. The kids could run around without fear of cars. Walking trail right in the backyard was beautiful! Small stream which would be really fun in the summer. The icing on the cake was the resident animals. They were unexpected and so fun to feed and pet. We also met the sweetest fun little dog that just cozied right up to all of us then would run off to keep track of his animals in the little farm space. So fun, so relaxing. Perfect amount of space, interesting artwork and decor around the house. The home was also super clean! Enough bath towels, towels for the hot tub and a washer and dryer. The home is secluded but only 15 minutes to Smiths if you need to shop. I can’t say enough wonderful things. Everyone loved this place and is begging to book again next year!
