Amazing
Exquisite! The house has such a homey feel. The amount of artwork to look at was an added bonus. Watching deer walk through the woods while drinking coffee was an added bonus.

Big, unique property
Family get-together. Crowded house of kids/adults - but somehow still plenty of space and no shortage of things to do. Unique house. Sizeable property. Great area of town.

Perfect Family Gathering Place
We had a wonderful stay. The yard is very private, and the large parking area was great. The firepit was big enough for the ten of us to sit around with plenty of firewood provided. We also enjoyed the hot tub (nice touch with robes, towels, flip flops included) and playing cornhole. The house was very spacious. We especially liked the dining room where we could all be seated for family meals. The house is filled with amazing local artwork. We loved the collection of kaleidoscopes. Valerie, the host, was extremely warm and welcoming. We would highly recommend this property.

Very unique and homey feel to this house rental. Our family enjoyed all the rental had to offer which was accurately described. Valarie is a super host and our family (30 aged guests) loved the decor, pool room, board games, kaleidoscopes, and hot tub during record frigid temperatures. A wonderful experience was had by all.
