The house was cozy, clean, and very comfortable — perfect for a family getaway. We especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the welcoming touches throughout the home.Although we had quite a bit of unexpected rain during our stay, the house was such a pleasant place to be that we didn’t mind staying indoors. We spent time playing games with the kids, enjoying meals together, and just relaxing. The covered areas outside were also a bonus for getting some fresh air even when it was drizzling.All in all, it was a memorable and heartwarming trip, made even better by the comfort of this lovely home. We would absolutely come back again — hopefully with a little more sunshine next time! ##### LaDonna L.

Spacious, cozy & enjoyable. I had the pleasure of staying two extra days. The beds were comfy and outdoor area was amazing and spent time in the hot tub and cooked smores. Definitely recommend and will absolutely stay here again. ##### Angela B. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025
