Recent reviews: "This house is a dream vacation stay, from start to finish! It has all the things I look for when I travel: comfortable bed and linens, communicative hosts, a (very) well stocked kitchen, and thoughtfully appointed accommodations throughout. The house is cozy and clearly well loved. I especially appreciate the art, the privacy every guest is afforded by the setup, the roominess (so big!) and the incredibly beautiful creek below the house. Of all the places I've stayed in the area (my son goes to college locally), this is my favorite. I'll be back!”
