Peacock Celebration Crew

We stayed here for my daughter’s wedding. The house was the beat place to enjoy some peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle. The kids played in the pool while the adults played pool or sat and relaxed! Watching the deer while drinking my coffee was the best. We even saw a red fox! Missy and her husband we the best. So friendly and inviting. We would definitely stay here again.

What an amazing time we had with our large family.

We were able to all get together as a family after Christmas for a few days. The property is spacious, clean, and wonderfully appointed. Not to mention, the grounds are absolutely beautiful. It was a wonderful choice for our family and Missy could not have been more responsive to every question we had. Highly, highly recommend Misty Pond.

Excellent weekend wedding

We had the property for a four day weekend with a wedding on Saturday. The kitchen was stocked well for all meals on site. The resort is incredible and provided a beautiful backdrop for the rehearsal, wedding, photos, and a relaxing weekend with friends and family. Guests could arrive via boat and automobile. Highly recommend as an event facility!

About the host

Hosted by Missy Bentz

Host profile image
Steve and Missy Bentz- We are the owner/operators and we live in the carriage house on the property. We had a furniture repair business for 30 years and were ready to retire from having a larger business with employees to doing something with less stress and more fun! We hope to be able to bring peace, restoration, and fun to families and friends at our beautiful Misty Pond Resort.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I fell in love with the property and had to have it! We also wanted to share its beauty with others, so the perfect way to do that was by short-term rentals. We had the idea to make it into a private resort for families and friends to come and enjoy the beauty and peacefulness of nature and of being together having fun! Come and enjoy wildlife, gardens, forest, water activities, and so much more!

What makes this property unique

This is not just a home- it is a resort property packed with things to do such as swimming, kayaking, nature trails, basketball, and much more! We also feel that having us on the property is a benefit because while we give you your privacy we can also be available if you need anything or have any special requests. We try to do little things throughout your stay to make it more special. Never hesitate to let us know how we can make your stay better and memorable so that you will want to come again and again!
