We felt very comfortable staying here as did our dogs for their first get away, other than the boarders. Nice little house with walking paths to roam. Deer in the front yard one evening. We all had a great time!
We got to wait for two nights for my birthday. I love how the house is laid out and there's a place for everything. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was clean. We loved the couches which new and super comfortable. The beds were really interesting. Kind of like a very hard gel. I have a bad back so I really appreciated them but they were too hard for my husband's liking. really interesting.
Unfortunately we were unable to go to our reservation because my wife got sick. But Jason was super understanding and was able to help us out the best he could. We will definitely make a reservation with him in the future when we're back on our feet!
Did a “meet you halfway” trip. Perfect little hideout for a getaway. Hot tub in the snow was a welcome comfort. House was immaculate. No unwelcome surprises.
I think we’ll be back.
The house was spotless with all the little extras anyone could need and more. The property is beautiful and the owners are lovely! We will be back for sure!
We loved fishing the pond at the property and the nearby lakes. Jason was easy to communicate with and we loved the little cottage. Enjoyed picking fresh blackberries in our back yard area. Great weekend stay, we loved it!!
The house was beautiful and very peaceful. We loved being surrounded by fields with no noise. We loved the hot tub and looking at the stars at night. The host has the house stocked with all the necessary items and all the little extra items we may have forgotten. Very peaceful. Very relaxing. Highly recommend!!
We loved our stay here. The surrounding nature was beautiful and just what we needed after a long day of driving. The house was inviting and had all the necessities and more to make us feel right at home. Would highly recommend a stay here if you're passing through Centralia.
We enjoyed our visit at this property. The owners supply more items than typically provided at VRBO properties. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare food - plus they supplied a very nice range of coffees and teas for the guests.
We enjoyed fishing at the pond both days that we were there and caught plenty of bass and bluegill. I can definitely see why guests return!
Lovely quiet stay on a tranquil piece of property! Clean home, roomy. Only suggestion would be more comfortable mattresses! We enjoyed the hot tub and the piano!
We recently purchased this home from my parents because it is just a lovely little house with wonderful memories and are excited to share it with others who want a chance to get away and enjoy the countryside.
