We enjoyed our stay, the place was very clean, well equipped, and the peaceful setting in the country perfect for relaxing. The only thing that we missed was a sponge for washing dishes, and the DVD player didn't work very well. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and will recommend it to others and hope to return sometime in the future.

So nice we stayed twice

This is the second time we have rented this property for a family vacation. We had an absolute blast last time and the second stay was just as perfect as the first. The house is fantastic for the person who wants to compleatly check out and get transported back to a time where life was way simpler. We will 100% be staying for a third time!

We were extremely happy with our stay here. The host was very easy to reach and communicated well before and during our stay, always eager to assist in any way. The property is quiet with beautiful scenery. We enjoyed having a washer/dryer to use, a comfortable living room to relax, plenty of towels and extra blankets, along with numerous bathroom amenities to use. We enjoyed the thoughtful things - such as labeling items throughout the house and luggage racks in the bedrooms, as well as some kitchen items like coffee, and some seasonings to use. We were very comfortable here and would definitely come back. I highly recommend this place for your next visit to the area!
