Beautiful property and location - need more cleaning

We enjoyed our stay. The location is beautiful and very quiet. We enjoyed the little lake and trails surrounding the property. Downside is that it needs better cleaning. We found a "lot" of hair in the bathrooms before we even used it. The dryer's filter wasn't cleaned for a looong time and the kitchen equipment also could use a good scrub.

Our happy place!

We have stayed here once a year for the past four years. It is a beautiful cabin and setting. The homestead cafe is walkable and a do-not-miss dining experience! We love this cabin!

Wonderful place

This place was amazing so peaceful but near all you'd want to visit. Fished in the pond and caught 4 nice size bass (released all). Beds super comfy, house was very clean and well stocked. Saw a bunch of horses passing by the house on the last day which was AMAZING. Wonderful family get away ahead of the holidays. Hosts were quick to answer all questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
