Perfect getaway

We loved our stay! It was very peaceful. My kids loved fishing in the well stocked pond. The house had everything we needed! The hosts were so kind and helpful anytime I had a question.

Great relaxing stay

The property was ideally situated and had all.the amenities one can expect in an off beat location. Close to the town but far away to feel truly relaxed. My family was there for the Polar Express train ride but had plenty to in the house in our downtime too. My family had a lovely stay and yours will too.

Perfect for polar express

We stayed here with family after riding the polar express in Palestine. Perfect serene spot a little outside of town. It was clean and the beds were comfy. Susan was very responsive and great to deal with.

Friend's & Family Polar Express the beginning of a Tradition

The house gave us all a warm homey feeling. We will be booking the same house next year if available. We really didn't want to leave. We weren't able to experience much of the outdoor amenities due to the weather but it was quiet & peaceful. Susan was great! She was quick to respond to my questions before & during our stay. Everything was so clean & the bathrooms were updated, fully stocked with everything including fluffy towels, so much better then most hotels. One of the best trips we've had & most of it truely was because the house felt like home. We'll definitely be back 😊

Great cabin and host

The cabin was perfect and very clean. The host was super-responsive to all of my questions. I could not have been an easier stay. The only downside is that the cell phone service in the area is bad, but the host has WiFi to use, so that helped fix things. I would definitely stay here again.
