This property was very nice with large rooms, including 2 master bedrooms with full bathrooms and walk-in closets. The view from the deck was relaxing. If you bring your pet, please note a pet fee and damage fee are charged on top of the rental price. It was a very nice area to walk our small dog. The owner was friendly and helpful. His home is located on the same property. Check out was easy, just empty the trash, place used towels on the bathroom floor, and contact the owner. We enjoyed our stay!

Home away from home

The location was ideal, beautiful quiet neighborhood close to delicious and fun restaurants that are very dog accommodating since we never go anywhere without our dog, groceries, recreation with a few minutes drive, yet far from any road noise. The home is equipped with everything you may need, they seem to have thought of it all including small touches like individual snacks in case you need a quick pick me up. We will definitely be back!

Perfect weekend retreat

This lovely house was even better in person than in the pictures; we couldn't have been happier with our stay here. Good/easy communication with the hosts (friendly too!). The house was clean, comfortable and so cozy. Very relaxing to have a cup of coffee out on the back porch too, especially after it snowed. Great location for visiting Turkey Run and the historic covered bridges. We would definitely stay again!
