The house and amenities inside were great and very clean. The location is secluded and close to side by side trails. Had a problem with getting the correct internet access. The house does not have central air conditioning, it does have a floor unit. There were a few very hot days that may be unusual but the air unit was not cooling the house. I would stay there again.
A group of us went up to sxs for the weekend and this rental was perfect! Clean, lots of space both outside and inside, the host was wonderful and prompt with responses. We would defiantly stay there again
Great place to stay! Quick and easy communication along with a nice house! We loved that it was secluded yet close to town! The house was great with lots to offer inside and out. Lots of wildlife and cool things to see and explore!
My kids loved exploring the property, loved the frogs! Perfect home if you have littles! We loved our stay! Beautiful home very clean!

Omg this place was exactly what I expected to be and even better. It was perfect in every manner and I would recommend anyone to stay. I am excited to hopefully get back maybe in the summer next time.
Nice home on a beautiful island. This was home great for our weekend getaway. Beds were super comfortable. It was a bit warm the days we were there, and it was nice to have the window air unit to cool the house down just a bit. The views in the morning over the pond was wonderful. My only complaint was that the slider door didn't lock.

Well it was just a nice perfect hidden jem loved the rock area next to house really neat although the lk was not usable because it was so shallow so that was a let down really injoyed the stay
Beautiful location - perfect spot for a quiet getaway!
The pictures and description did not do it justice. It is a picturesque spot that is nice and quiet. Would recommend for a quiet friend getaway (like us), just as much as a getaway for you and your special someone! Thank you Jessica!!

Thank you Thomas! So so happy to hear you enjoyed it here!
The location was perfect to access the trailhead.
The location is picturesque and secluded. We enjoyed our family time and a slow down of the day to day. 10/10 will rent again!
This was a great spot to hang out. The property is private and beautiful. The house is cool. It was very clean and was nice to come back to. I’d come back again. They also have stuff there to toddler proof the place which we really appreciated.
The cabin was fully stocked of essentials and was clean and comfortable. Close to businesses that that may have what you forget. The kayaking portrayed is not what we expected due to the terrain one must travel to get on the water. However, we weren't there to kayak. If you are looking for a place to sleep, eat and explore this property fits the bill!
