Beautiful location. Peaceful and plenty of space for extended family. Spotty service but not a game changer. We were busy with wedding activities for my son but would love to come back and enjoy the location more next time.

Great Place for Family Time
We appreciated having such a lovely, clean space with plenty of beds and baths to accommodate our family gathering of six adult sisters. Although our weekend plans didn't leave time to take advantage of cooking in the well appointed kitchen it would have been a delightful place to prepare a meal. We loved sitting on the back screened-in porch drinking our morning coffee, listening to an array of birds and watching a charm of finches.

If you are looking for an unplugged getaway, this is the house for you! We had problems with the WiFi but that is expected in a rural area like this and was only an issue because was planned a PowerPoint night. Beautiful scenery, great hosts, all around a good time. My friends and I definitely missed the turn in our first visit because it hides in the trees. Just to want you.
