Cozy as Home
We were there from 1,000 miles south, east, and west for a wedding. We were the family and friends of the groom. Our stay was lovely, just perfect. The owner was so helpful. She made sure to have everything we needed plus more. We had 21 people there with room to spare.

Had a blast
The house has 4 suites in the upper level which was able to accommodate our big group. The whole weekend was raining on and off, but our family really enjoyed our stay. We kept busy with cornhole, entertainment inside, hammer and nail game. Very beautiful scenery by the camp fire. The host is super responsive and friendly.
