Such an absolutely beautiful home, which was so comfortable for my whole family and dogs! We really enjoyed being just a few steps off the beaten path and the quiet mornings before exciting holiday days at the theme parks. Wonderful host that was always very responsive and helpful.

Amazing location - close to everything but still very quiet and secluded. House is beautiful, lovely layout and decor. Wifi was decent, enough to run the TVs with no issues.

House was clean and seemed to be recently updated. Loved that the house backs up to a wildlife preserve and we saw turkeys, deer and bear. Good open yard for our dogs.

Very nice house !

This was our 2nd time staying here and hopefully not our last. The only complaints I heard were about the beds being too soft or too hard, and the WiFi was not the best.
Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 18 March 2025
Thank you so much for choosing us to stay a 2nd time I’m so flattered. The mattress one is difficult as different people have different preferences. Some people prefer firm and some soft. Regarding the Internet, yes it’s been a struggle, but after 10 years of living in this neighborhood, they are finally installing fiber. You may have seen the conduit and workers alongside the road in our neighborhood during your stay. Hopefully you will stay with us again and it will be high speed next time. I know I’m looking forward to it for sure!

Secluded & Peaceful yet close to activities

House overall was in excellent condition. My wife immediately commented on how clean and well taken care of the house was. House was very spacious & comfortable. We loved the feel of being in secluded nature area yet close enough to nearby towns and activities. Our pet Lab loved exploring in the large fenced yard area and hiking in the forest behind the house. We wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely stay again.

A decent spot

The place met our needs. Great host. Seems to be like their first “fixer upper” many little oversights, decor is kind of overwhelming, gives a feeling of trying way too hard. Simpler is better. Thank you and be well.

Awesome Propert

The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. Plenty of room with 4 large bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. The back patio is very relaxing with a great view into the woods. We observed a black Bear and four deer. There’s a feeder on the side of the house which attracts the wildlife. We plan to book again next year.

Beautiful home & wonderful hosts

The property was perfect for my family over the holidays. We were able to have a home away from home while visiting family in Florida. The kitchen is a dream to cook in. The beds were roomy. After a long day, soaking in that deep tub melted the stress away. They provided little conveniences like laundry/dish detergent and bathing soap. Finally, the family that hosts this property are very communicative and kind, they even left a gift for us for our stay over Christmas. We felt very welcomed. On a fun note, whenever we drove through the entrance, we sung the main tune to Jurassic Park as we passed through the natural vegetation, it felt like we were entering another world. Everyone in my family said they would gladly stay there again. Highly recommend, don't hesitate to book!
