Unique visit with some of the best natural settings available. Quiet, serene and dreamlike. Rained 3 out of four days and was still wonderful. Didn't go anywhere -- it was better right there.

Our stay was fine and we enjoyed the outside space on the only day it wasn’t raining. I feel the floors could have been cleaner…the bathroom I used look like it hadn’t been mopped…I noticed urine spots around the toilet. Other than that, all was well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was exceptionally well-maintained and thoughtfully stocked with all the convenience necessities, which made our trip much easier.The local sights were wonderful, but we especially loved the time spent on the property—the kids had a blast with the ping pong and exploring the stream. Feeding the fish was a daily highlight for us! It was the perfect balance of relaxation and family fun. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to others.

Loved the property and the location was close to so many things to do. This was the best stocked house we had ever stayed at. The cabin had a wonderful open floor plan and generous space in the bedrooms, especially the master. Would definitely stay again. It was a pleasure to sit out on the deck and listen to the creek while enjoying coffee. The evenings (when it didn't rain) were also great for sitting on the porch or in the gazebo while listening to the pond waterfall and frogs. We even saw a blue heron one day. This property is close to parks, trails, waterfalls and a number of great restaurants. There was shopping and other fun activities within an hour or less drive. Communication with the property host was excellent. Thank you, Terri!
