We couldn’t have chosen a better place for our family to spend a long weekend. Wish we had the time to stay longer. The home is absolutely beautiful and had everything that we needed. Mornings were spent drinking coffee (provided) out on the deck counting deer as thew strolled by. We will definitely be going back.

Cheryl was a very responsive and accommodating host. We arrived after a big winter storm and she met us at the house to show us how to use the generator and she had shoveled the driveway and walkway in preparation for our arrival. The house worked very well for our four families to stay all together.

We had a really wonderful stay here! The home was beautiful, the property was beautiful and it fit my extended family of 13 very comfortably! (9 adults, 4 kids). The host was gracious and responded to messages quickly. There was also a binder with very clear information about the home to make things easy!The house was also very close to a small downtown area with restaurants and a market. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at this spacious home with plenty of room to spread out. The outdoor decks were very appealing: spacious with lovely furniture and views. We appreciate the large, well stocked kitchen. The large island was the social centerpiece. The overall attention to detail with decor and amenities was great. Thank you!
