Really unique property with fun amenities surrounded by nature. We had a great time and our dog enjoyed exploring and walking the property with us. Host was awesome, highly recommend reserving this amazing place.

The property is exactly as described and I have zero complaints about it. Our family had a wonderful vacation there. It was nice to feel like our children were safe on the property. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

The house itself really plays into its environment. It felt secluded in a positive way. It's a beautiful, quiet place to get away from the city and all the noise. The interior was perfectly sized and gave off a tranquil sense of security and ruralness. The beds were extremely comfortable, and it felt like home. No regrets or complaints. I'd give it ten stars if I could.
