Kitchen was sublime, we made a feast and there was plenty of pots and pans and cooking gear to go all out. Everything was better than described, and could not have been a better spot for a friends reunion.

Great mini vacay!

The house was even better than the pictures showed and had everything we needed. It was very spacious and a great layout. Paul was very helpful and easy to get in contact with. We hope to stay again!

Great location; Beautiful property

We went up for the Harford Fair which was a lot of fun! Additionally, the property allowed the children to run out their energy on the 12 acres. The home was comfortable and had stuff for the kids to do, board games, foosball, mini pool table, which was great since we did have a little rain. We would definitely stay again.
