This property was excellent in every aspect. It was clean, well-stocked, and having access to the garage was a great bonus. The separate driveways were especially convenient. We were able to park our trailer in one driveway and unload the truck at the house using the other. Both driveways were long enough to accommodate a full-size truck and a 24-foot trailer without having to unhook.Communication with the host was outstanding, with quick responses to any questions we had throughout our stay.We will definitely keep this property on our list of go-to rentals for future October trips and look forward to staying here again.

This place was so homey and cozy..we vacationed this area as we took 4 grandkids for a summer vacation and we weren't disappointed. Was clean and had lots of helpful things available that were provided if needed. Would definitely consider this place again as the hist were so easy to reach and so accommodating.
