Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick M. 17 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We wanted to wait until our return to write the owners about our stay and in doing so we missed an e-maile VRBO survey window. SO . . . we resort to this format.We want the owners to know that the house and lands are beautifully sited, designed, comfortable, and most importantly (I am a landscape architect with a career in site planning and trail design) a wonderful indoor-outdoor experience. I walked all of the trail system components (many times more than once) and the statement “wander the grounds” mentioned in the VRBO web site description does not do the experience justice. Breathing fresh air, seeing the vegetation variety (yes native and introduced), birds, deer grazing next door (agriculture), etc. was equally as important as the wonderful house. ##### Patrick M.
