We had a great stay at Will’s and Diana’s place .The reason for our stay , was our son’s graduation which we celebrated with friends and family in the house . The kitchen is wonderful equipped, and the whole house is very spacious ,The cabin is rustic, but with charm . The beds are comfy. Diana and Will were very good in communication and very very helpful ! Check in was very easy . In the house are two bathrooms. The upper one is really small and special the shower ( it’s a bath tub) for taller people tricky . Thanks again , for great stay with wonderful memories.

A peaceful stay. The area was incredibly quiet being tucked away on a gravel road. Host was communicative and attentive when we needed help. There’s little to no service inside the home, which can be a good way to unplug and rest.

I would stay here again.

This was an excellent VRBO! The location was great with access to a variety of activities. Seven Mountains Wine Cellars was a mile away and also provided for a great visit to the VRBO. The place was clean, accessible and very comfortable . Loved the front porch in the evening.

Beautiful place in the country

It was a wonderful place to relax while attending a family wedding. Our only concern were the bees, wasps & hornets while sitting on front porch because one of our family is highly allergic to them. Other than those little pests it was a wonderful stay.

Great property for large family/friends group

Group of friends competing in the Ironman 70.3 event in Happy Valley. Rented the main house and cottage. Plenty of room and well enough equipped to cook and congregate together while still having our own space. Superb location for all outdoor activities. No WiFi, but most of us were able to get cell service.

The Lost Dutchman is a cozy but spacious

The Lost Dutchman offers many sleeping spaces and areas to hang during the day. The kitchen is equipped for any meal you would need to prepare. We had a misty, rainy weekend and spent any free time on the covered porch. Will and Dana reached out with easy check-in instructions .
