A Slice of Heaven

Our family had the most amazing and relaxing stay at Story’s Landing. I voted to never leave but my family wouldn’t let me stay. You won’t want to leave either! The beautiful views from every window in every room brought the outdoors inside and the outdoor living spaces were so inviting. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. Would love to stay here again!

Absolutely wonderful experience!

Everything about Story’s Landing is wonderful! My family and I were blessed to be able to book this property for a last minute stay for an unexpected family funeral. We arrived well after dark and were greeted with lights on and welcoming, spacious parking and covered areas to unload our things, soft music playing throughout the house, and the feeling of being in a luxurious home away from home. Story’s Landing is exactly as the pictures show on their site. It is spacious, luxurious, inviting, calming, and peaceful. Every detail had been thought of for our stay. Our pup even had her own space to stay with food and treats just for her. The owner is very thorough with instructions and helpful details during your stay. She went out of her way to help us with things we might need for food and flowers for the funeral as well when she didn’t have to. All the family who visited were highly impressed by the property and how everything had been o thought out to make your stay easy and relaxing. We will most definitely book again when we are in the area!!! This is an absolutely wonderful house and owner. I would give more stars if I could!!

Great place

This house is located on a secluded piece of property that gives you all kinds of privacy yet or still close enough to have pizza delivered to you! If you’re in the area, there is no better place to stay

We absolutely loved our little weekend away here. It was perfect! The outside space was amazing for playing yard games and we loved all the hiking trails. The house was so comfortable and clean. We loved cooking in the gorgeous kitchen. It had everything we needed. We can not wait to come back!!
