This was the perfect place for our couples weekend! The house was so clean and very cozy! It had everything we could possibly need! We loved the screened in porch! We did try to enjoy the outdoor fire pit area but some of the outdoor furniture was a little too weather rotted. We just brought down some of the more sturdy chairs from the patio. The location is perfect! Close to the downtown area but secluded and scenic enough to feel like you've escaped to the woods. We all agreed we would love to come back for another stay, maybe a longer one because the weekend was too short!

Thank you Amber! We couldn't be happier that you, your husband and friends were so pleased with this lovely home. The screened porch is always a guest favorite! We will take a look at that furniture right away, thanks for letting us know. The comment we hear most often mirrors your feelings exactly... a weekend is not long enough! Thank you for being such lovely guests and for choosing this home. You're welcome any time and we hope to see you soon.
