It’s THE perfect spot - very clean and very quiet and the bed is the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. Throw in the pool and how accommodating Joy and Chris are and there’s no reason to stay anywhere else. ##### Evie G.

Super cozy and the nicest hosts. We had free use of the outdoor pool and our family loved it. Clean and fully stocked with dishes , Tupperware, Saran Wrap and even picnic baskets. There wasn’t anything that we needed for our week stay that wasn’t there. ##### Shauntel and Noah A.
