My hubs and I, along with our dog, really enjoyed this quiet place. It felt pretty secluded, and was decorated really cozy. And it was so clean! We cooked just a little and the kitchen had quite a few items to help out. We didn't do much outside of walks and visit the lake, as this home provided us space and place to relax and chill. There was a binder put together containing attractions and things to do should one want to journey out and about. I would enjoy staying here again!

Perfect little getaway

We loved staying at this quaint, cozy house tucked into the hills. It had gorgeous views and although we had neighbors nearby the trees gave us privacy and quiet. We will definitely be staying here again.

Beautiful, peaceful and unique property! We loved our stay. It was very relaxing. Deer, hummingbirds, and even little kittens were on the property. The only negative thing would be the driveway had pretty sharp corners and was hard to get in/out in an F250. But still was possible. We loved our stay and would stay again.

A little slice of heaven

I'm in love with this property. The house is so cute and has so much character. It was exceptionally clean. The host has provided anything you could need, or forgot to pack! The view is breathtaking, and the back yard is a litlle slice of heaven. Very serene and relaxing. The nearby restaurants have amazing food.
