Wonderful home, property and nature

Thank you Phil and Jeannie! Prior to our stay, we were in contact with homeowner Phil, who was most gracious with answering questions we had, and later showing us this home, of which he lives about a minute drive away from. This is a remote guest home to stay in, and it is very nice, charmingly and thoughtfully appointed, and has outdoor amenities we appreciated that we have not encountered at other homes. Additional to the home which was well stocked with supplies, modern amenities and rustic charm, the property around the home is well cared for. The homeowners maintained 2 nearby trails, installed and maintained a small swimming pond with boat, floating deck, and even have complete an outdoor bed and bath tub, which can be enjoyed with any interruption free with individual screens. It definitely lives up to the romantic getaway part. My family was happy to get to make use of the home on the cool nights we stayed, got to enjoy the trails, and were grateful to be able to makes use of a fire pit by the pond on two of the chilly evenings. Thank you again, Phil and Jeannie!

Totally Awesome Experience!

Phil and Jeannie are SUCH GREAT FOLKS! They have a little slice of Heaven where we we felt privileged to have the opportunity to experience both the private hilltop cottage with terrific private, clear water swimming pond and numerous special, outdoor amenities we thoroughly enjoyed, including the “nap time” outdoor bed, sundeck on the pond, fire pit, charcoal grill and outdoor dining table with a gorgeous view of the scenery. Just can’t say enough great things about the people, wonderful conversations and exemplary location with outstanding home we stayed in on their property. Superb get away for couples!!!

Beautiful location, interesting guest house

3 adults enjoyed the space for two nights, very comfortable and clean. We did feel a little abandoned in the woods since there was no cell coverage once we were up there and we arrived just before dark. There was no one on the grounds though we spoke to the caretaker as we were on our way from Eureka to the guest house. Once we found the cottage, down a narrow dark wooded road, unpaved but very drivable in our ordinary car, we were fine. We were not tempted by the pond, though I'm sure fans of fresh water lakes would be. WiFi works well so wifi calls worked with our T-Mobile phones.
