We were two couples/family who had previously visited the area. This is the best Vrbo we have experienced to date. The home was well-appointed in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. We enjoyed the privacy of the two spaces (apartments). The outdoor space in the back offers an amazing nature experience with forest views and a private seating area. We cooked our meals at the house. There is a good supply of kitchen equipment. The small pool on the property was perfect for us to enjoy throughout the day/evening. It is in partial shade all day. The water stays cool and is very refreshing. I would recommend this property 100%. ##### Kimberly K. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ---
