Such a great place combined with a very thoughtful host. The children loved it here, seeing deer, squirrels and birds in the back yard and exploring the woods. Lots to do nearby as well.

I'm so happy you enjoyed your trip, our home and all of the amenities we have to offer. We follow standard expectations as other short term rentals in our area pertaining to trash and asking that nothing is left behind that many attract wildlife including leaving behind dirty dishes. Our community has strict guidelines that no trash can be left outside and everything must be taken to the dumpsters. Thanks so much for following the check out guidelines which were provided prior to your arrival. Thanks again. Happy travels.

About the host

Host profile image

Please let me know if you have any questions about the property.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely fell in love with this house as soon as we saw it, and we hope you will too. The house is next to green belt property, which helps it feel super secluded. Our favorite spot is the lower deck outside of the basement slider door. We enjoy sitting out there with our morning coffee, or tea, watching the wildlife. There is a good chance you will spot turkeys, deer, raccoons, and more...while visiting.

What makes this property unique

Our basement has been renovated and features a ping pong table, foosball, Football Quarterback Attack, Cable TV, board games and even a sauna!
