The house and location are very nice - the view is spectacular. The house seemed a little smaller than the pictures but all the areas were very nice - a great kitchen and the bathrooms were some of the best I have seen. But it was the long view across the valley sitting on the front deck that made the trip!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The home was beautiful, comfortable and incredibly relaxing. You can tell the hosts put a lot of thought into the little details, includingcomplimentary wine, which was such a nice touch.I was nervous about the location at first because I had never been to Smithsburg and thought the house might be in the middle of nowhere. It ended up being one of my favorite things about the house. It feels private & surrounded by beautiful country scenery, but we were still only about 10-15 minutes from everything we needed. The hosts were extremely responsive, quick and friendly whenever we had questions. I was a little overwhelmed by all the rules & instructions at first, but once we got settled in, everything was very smooth and easy. The master bedroom and bathroom were amazing. The hot tub was so relaxing and the perfect way to unwind. We did not use the upstairs bedroom, but it has many conveniences that would make it a nice setup for a single person.A few helpful tips for future guests: there is a toaster oven, so bring a regular toaster if preferred. If you plan to do laundry, bring a couple of Tide pods. The bathroom door in the 2nd bedroom is a little tricky to close. Parking is below the house, with a short paved walkway & several steps to the house. We had no problem with IT, but it is worth knowing if you have a lot of luggage or mobility concerns.Overall, we had a wonderful stay. It was exactly the relaxing getaway we were hoping for!
