Everything was beautiful, except for the amount of stink bugs that were in the location. Honestly, though, don’t let that deter you from going here. The property itself is very nice, and the accommodation is very comfortable.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the property and found the accommodations comfortable. We completely understand your frustration with the seasonal stink bugs — they tend to make their way inside during certain times of year despite our regular pest prevention efforts. We truly appreciate your understanding and kind words, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay soon!

Little Home

Beautiful home and stay. Felt like they owners thought of everything.Everything was clean. We did find a toe nail and a used Qtip on the ground. But other then that is was a beautiful few days. We walked on the trails and went back to a cozy, tiny home. :)
