The most beautiful hidden gem that I hope always maintains the natural wonder it really has. Owners are excellent communicators and really helpful before arriving, leaving tons of amenities available for convenience. Super accommodating and would recommend to anyone who enjoys a lifestyle full of nature and a remote location. Absolutely perfect.

Maggie was an excellent host and checked in with us several times throughout our stay. She gave wonderful recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to try in the surrounding area, which was really appreciated. The house was nice and comfortable. It was a little on the older side, but that was perfectly fine for us. We came to relax, enjoy the peace and quiet, and spend time exploring the outdoors. If that's your main goal, then this property is a great choice!

The property host/owner, Maggie, is awesome. She will contact you when you book the propery and a few days before arrival. She will check on you once you arrive as well. The property is a piece of heaven on earth. The creek and secret beach are amazing. The house is a country cottage that's very comfortable with all the things you need. The house is not flashy or super fancy, but nice and clean. Both bedrooms are upstairs and the only bathroom upstairs is in the master. There is another full bath downstairs though. It's truly like going to grandma's, and having paradise to explore down winding trails. I plan to visit again soon!!

Thank you for your suggestions. I appreciate the 5 star review… and would like more personal feedback on what was broken. There is a window unit AC upstairs to help with the heat rising into there. I don’t believe we’ve ever had anybody complain about it being too hot upstairs. I suppose you didn’t notice the window unit. I may try to reach out to you and find out what was broken… I’d like to replace or repair it. again, no one has mentioned this. Thank you for the five star review!

The host was absolutely wonderful. Reached out thoughtfully with detailed instructions, and made us feel right at home. Plenty of towels and everything you might need. However, it was a little stressful having two shedding dogs there because it seemed like the owner was very concerned about dog hair. Best for small dogs that don't shed much.

Perfect place to totally disconnect and relax !

We enjoyed our stay and reconnection together, esp with our son on break from school with good ole uninterrupted conversation, fresh air from the hemlocks/pines/laurels, exercise with hiking/fishing and a margarita at night on the porch swing. Our dogs loved it too. Thank you for the lovely accommodation!!
