Best Value

Hands down the best value for the area. Spacious and clean with a lot of room outside as well! Easy to book and well stocked. I was unaware of the poultry yard next door which was a bit much between 4 a.m. - 6 a.m. but the value just can't be beat.

Weekend stay

The property was so cute and perfect for 2 couples! It was spacious and cozy. We saw deer crossing while sitting on the back porch relaxing. We did feel that some areas could have been cleaned better, but it was mostly nice and clean. We had a fantastic weekend, and would visit this adorable place again.

We enjoyed all the extra amenities the house provided. The outside patio table to the left.

Overall our stay at this house was pleasant.We didn't enjoy the front porch because the dog next door was barking most of the time.
