Great getaway!

We enjoyed our stay! It was a nice home at an affordable price. As a heads up to future guests, I would like to add that our GPS took us to the wrong location but when we called Cherisse she stayed on the phone with us until we arrived at the right house. If you are staying here, I would definitely recommend following the directions sent via email ahead of time rather than depending on GPS. The GPS took us down a very rough dirt road that did not appear to be the best area to be in. Cherisse checked on us after the arrived to make sure that everything was good and was available when we called the next day to ask a quick question. The only recommendation I would make would be to add Wi-Fi service. We appreciated that we were not charged a cleaning fee. Thanks Cherisse for opening your home to us!

Centrally located

The house looked small from the outside but was impressed with the inside. We were there to hike on the Appalachian Trail and this house was located just a little away from what i wanted but it worked out ok. We didn't spend any time outside since it was cold but the location was quiet. Overall it was a great stay.
