Property was nice - we really enjoyed the back porch! You are in the country - we saw a few skunks wandering around as we drove in, but they didn’t bother us. The house met the description and fitted our needs well! The kitchen was fairly basic, but it did have most things we needed. The only thing lacking was hot pads - this might be nice to add.

We had a perfect stay! We were close to many amazing hiking trails and then we were able to spend our down time relaxing on the beautiful porch. We could see deer in the fields every day. The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is huge and has plenty of seating. Check in and out was super easy. We would definitely choose to stay here again if we were in the area!

We were two families renting and appreciated the amount of bedrooms offered and amount of beds. We found everything we needed in the kitchen while cooking. Cleaning up after meals was easy with the dishwasher available. The fire pit was great for campfire s'mores with plenty of firewood available. We would have liked a bigger grill outside, but made do without one. The hot tub was a great way to end the night. The host left simple instructions. Check out was super easy. The entire property is well maintained and clean.
