This cottage is perfect for a fall weekend away! We sat outside on the deck, cooked dinner in the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed competing on the arcade games in the game room. The host has given a great deal of thought to the many details in this home to make sure you have everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We will definitely be returning!

Mike’s house is very well appointed, and has everything you could possibly need, from spices, baggies and foil in the kitchen to the arcade downstairs. Mike has thought of everything! It was a great location for all of our weekend adventures. Mike is a very gracious host and was awaiting our arrival and gave us a very thorough review of his house and the amenities. We really appreciate staying at his house. It had everything we could need and then some! Thanks Mike!!

This home was beyond perfect for our family. Three bedrooms all perfect sized for teens and two with extra beds. Mike met us at the house to show us around when we arrived, from that conversation and all the extras it is obvious that he loves and cares for this house. No corner was cut, from the board games throughout the house, brochures about all the local sites, name brand cookware and appliances to the arcade basement to all the small touches like a well stocked kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. If we ever come back this way we will definitely stay again. I almost forgot to mention the pools, gym was amazing and there were so many things to do at the resort, no one was bored.

We had such a great weekend at the Pistachio Nut! The home is so cozy and beautifully maintained. The hosts were welcoming and available and had truly thought of everything to make our stay seamless. They provided everything we needed, from cold bottled water to fun games, a well-stocked kitchen, and comfy beds. The house was so easy to navigate: uncluttered and well labeled. We are really hoping to return sometime in the future!
