It is just beautiful inside and inviting. The backyard is wonderful and we watched deer and lightning bugs which was so much fun. The bedrooms were large and comfortable with enough room for whatever you may bring. I cannot wait to stay again on my next trip. ##### Danielle P.

Beds were comfy, fair-trade chocolate and coffee are produced and sold next door, and a baby bunny was nibbling in the backyard when we arrived. We loved our week there! ##### Shoshanna G.

The home was amazing and Pamela was a fantastic host. The home was incredibly clean and spacious. It was the most well-stocked Vrbo we've ever stayed at - from luxury bedding and towels to snacks in the kitchen! Pamela was easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. We hope to return soon! ##### Dawn G.

I could not think of another title that would describe it any more accurately than that. I’ve stayed at many rental properties, and this might just be my favorite. The attention to details to make the guests feel at home and special go over and above. From the fresh coffee beans and chocolates to the comfortable and eclectic furnishings, beds and linens. The grounds are parklike and serene. If you’re looking for good vibes, they’re all here. ##### Ann Marie J.

So clean, so comfy, and so perfect! Great communication with host Pamela from the beginning to the end of our stay. We will definitely be back for our next yoga retreat at the Himalayan Institute. ##### Kimberly M.

It had everything we needed plus some extras we never even thought of. Soaps, spices and even snacks were so helpful! The living room was comfortable and inviting and the bedrooms were comfortable and had tons of closet space. We truly enjoyed our stay. ##### Alicia A.
