The host has covered all the bases. There was nothing missing from this rental. So nice to not have to worry about forgetting something or needing a basic ingredient for a dish. Also so grateful there was coffee!! Easy location to find. Very cozy and tasteful.

Wonderful property. Host has thought of everything—spices and cookbooks in the kitchen, variety of toiletries and hygiene items in the bathroom, books and magazines, variety of games for all ages, even a hammock! She even provided yummy snacks. Will definitely stay here again next time we’re in the area.

The hosts thought of everything. There are tons of amenities from the kitchen to the bathroom. Having internet to watch TV after a long day of hiking, fishing, etc was really nice. We grilled multiple times and Don even brought us another propane tank to make sure we had enough. The bed was comfortable. Everything was clean and ready for our stay. We hope to stay again!
