#### Comfortable and Serene
The house was comfortable and provided plenty of space for my family to relax. My kids especially loved the pool table in the basement! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals - plenty of dishes, assorted pots and pans, utensils, etc. The location was also perfect for exploring the many different parks and natural areas. We enjoyed our stay!

#### Peaceful and easy
This stay included everything we needed for a quiet a rejuvenating long weekend - easy access to hiking, small town with good pizza, a chocolate factory and ice cream shop within 5 minutes drive and yet somehow very secluded and quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the covered deck every evening and watching the deer and turkeys go by.

Very nicely renovated farmhouse with a covered deck overlooking acres of forest-lined pasture. You can sit out and watch the wildlife come out at dawn and dusk. Nice private drive. Plenty of bunks for everyone. We just finished our annual visit. Sorry to leave, but we’ve already booked again for next year!

#### Family vacation 2024
Everything was clean. The house was in a great location for our needs and we really appreciated having enough space for all 8 members of our party. The only issue that we had was that with as hot as it was during our stay the air conditioning was inconsistent throughout the house. The bedroom with the pull out sofa was stuffy while the main bedroom was a little better but if we turned the air down any more the basement bedroom was too cold to stand. We really did enjoy this home and all of the character that it offered.
