Weekend Getaway
The home and property overall was in a great location. The walk-in the door appearance was really cute, but the shower in the master bedroom had a good layer of mold in the door area that would separate and fall into the floor of the shower as you used the shower. The kitchen was clean other than below the sink, it smelled very much like musty, moldy wood. The rest of the house down stairs we did not use at all. The living room was set up really cute and the deck would have been nice if it had seats to sit on. There was a seat with no cushions up there, the grill could not be used as the racks were rusted on both the charcoal grill and the gas grill, so we couldn’t use those. The below deck was not to be used because it was not safe due to needing repaired. Signs were up to identify this though. I would come back here to stay because of the convenience but I would not advertise the comfy fire place with seating that wasn’t there. grill to cook on that was rusty, or charge so much for cleaning if the showers are still going to have mold clearly on the floor base, and the utensils you cook with sticky with cooking residue from prior use. I was just upset with the price for having to clean or improvise how to cook things since we brought food to cook on the grill. I brought my own toilet paper and paper towels to use primarily while we were there. Swept the floor with broom provided but there was no dust pan to sweep the stuff into so we folded a piece of cardboard to use.

Weekend getaway
Overall the place was just fine, we can see the property is a working process. More seating on the useable deck would have been nice, but we made due for the time we were there. It worked out perfect for our weekend plans. Thank you!

Beautiful Inside
Inside the house was beautiful! There’s no screens on the windows to let in fresh air and the pots & pans need to be replaced. The below deck has cation tape and the grill picture is not what looks like. After cleaning the grill, I still did not want to use it. I had to sweep the fire pit area due to screws and metal pieces around and in the pit. I would Not feel comfortable if I had some children with me! Once the outside is cleaned up and fixed, this would be a great vacation spot.

Family Thanksgiving
We booked this to come up and see my family for Thanksgiving. It made for a great visit as we had enough room for everyone to come eat and visit for the day. Would book again. Only complaint would be the internet service.

Boating Birthday Weekend
Had a great trip and driving distance to the boat launch was 1 mile away. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Loved that there were three bathrooms and showers so no one waiting to get in. Internet slow but you’re in the woods so it’s expected. Overall it was a great trip and we would stay here again.

Perfect little get away!!
We loved the place. It was secluded, beautiful, and inviting. It had everything one could ask for. The only small complaint I would have would be about internet reception. At times, it was slow, but I do not blame that on the owners. The property is in fact kinda in the woods. Other than that, this was one of our perfect vacations. Would def want to stay here again if in the area. It was so peaceful. Supplies well stocked. Would definitely recommend!!!
