Beautiful Home

We had a lovely stay! The home is beautiful and just like the pictures! The host was quick to respond when we had questions. We loved the views out back and sitting on the rocking chairs with morning coffee. Would definitely stay again when visiting the area! Close to so many things, but far enough away to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Everything you want in one place!

Jeff and his wife welcomed us upon arrival, The house was very nice, and decorated with such good taste. They went above and beyond in leaving us with coffee and snacks, as well as toiletries and other things, a very thoughtful addition for all of us, which was a real treat. Several families shared the home while in town to visit family. The stay was perfect. It accommodated everyone to gather together and still had plenty of room to go off and get quiet time and privacy. Plenty of beds and all were very comfortable. Everything was cleaned and spotless!! The decor was warm and inviting. Anything you may have forgotten, the stores aren't far away. Don't worry about host being on site, You have all the privacy one could want. We will definitely stay here in the future. One of the best rentals we've ever had! Thank you for sharing your beautiful Home. 🙂

A real house!

Spacious, clean, comfortable, updated kitchen appliances, shower had great water pressure, big backyard, back deck, sunroom, reading nooks upstairs. It was just the right balance of decorated & furnished, vs. empty space & shelves/bins for our stuff. We had a great stay!

Wonderful Stay

Everything about our stay was wonderful....location, cleanliness, check-in, responsiveness of host. We cannot say enough good things about our stay. Everything was perfect. This spacious house very comfortably housed all 10 of us. It was the perfect space as we got ready for our family wedding which was just a few short miles away at Sorella Farms. Our host was kind and very attentive to all of our requests. The house offers all of the amenities that we needed. We will certainly stay here again when we are back in area. Thank you for making our stay so special.

Everything was as advertised. The online pictures really didn’t do the property the justice it deserves. Nearly every room was larger than the pictures showed. We really enjoyed the stay and would return if ever in the area again.
