Very clean and well stocked place with simple directions and great communication. Would love to come back next time I visit! ##### Donovan Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa M. 27 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet little house in the woods My elderly mother and I stayed here while visiting family nearby. The house was a cute, clean quiet home for us to return to in the evenings. The host had lovely baskets of toiletries and towels in each bedroom. Bedrooms and beds were large and comfortable. We saw deer wandering through the yard each morning. Kitchen, dining room and living room were a little small but had all the things you need. Thanks for the nice place to stay. ##### Lisa M.
