Quiet and relaxing stay

Our family had a great time here. Everything was as described in the listing. It was very clean and cozy. We didn’t use the kitchen much but it seemed to be well-supplied. The outdoors can be enjoyed with coffee on the deck or a fire. The kids enjoyed visiting the friendly cows.

Perfect for our Family

The stay here was great from check-in to check-out. My husband and I brought our two teenagers, their friend, and our two younger boys. The space was perfect - we had all we needed and more. We were most pleased with the cleanliness and quality of bedding, furniture, and really the entire house/property. We hope to stay again, some day!

Up north get away

House was very clean. Host were welcoming but also left you in privacy, the rental is right on their property. The queen bed was not comfortable, dipped in the middle , but we ended up using the king bed which was fine. I have a back issue so have to be careful of the bed I sleep on. Other beds were on the harder side, however if you don’t have back issues I’m sure all the beds are good for most people. The house was in a great location, very quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed the use of the fire pit, with wood provided. We were here to see the fall colors and they were beautiful!! Thanks for a lovely stay.
