Steve was always prompt to respond when I had questions. Had dvds, cds, vhs tapes and more nostalgia. The beds were very comfortable (and I’m super picky) and the towels were soft. A morning dove made her nest in the ballasts right next to the back door. And when it rained, the tin roof over the porch sounded amazing! My only complaint was that we couldn’t stay longer. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Darshea H. 4 May 2018 #### Great time with family The entire weekend my family spent was nice and amazing. Very quiet and the home was equipped with everything we needed. Our first time ever renting, the owner was very nice and made sure we got in safe and had no issues. He was available anytime and everytime. We made a nice bonfire on our second night and it was the best ever. Time away from the city life to just sit by the fire and watch the stars. The home is very spacious and has that home away from home country feel. So many movies, we had a family movie night. Went out on the town and just enjoyed our surroundings. We will definitely be back soon. ##### Darshea H.

The house was roomy and well equipped and the owner was very responsive to our concerns. It has a large deck overlooking fields and hills, and a very large yard(with a firepit; campfire smores etc.) with plenty of room for the kids to run and play. A added perk(which we didn't notice on the listing) was the basement room with a couch and foozeball table which was a great place for the kids to play. There is a additional cabin on the property which was empty most of our stay. We had a amazing, fun and relaxing family vacation! Charming, very comfortable house in quiet scenic location. Definitely recommended. ##### abe k.

Found all the kitchen pots and pans and gadgets needed. Plenty of parking. We all love to play board games so the big square kitchen table was a dream. Really helped with interaction vs a rectangular table. Lol. ##### Julie S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ---
