The property was very clean. It was easy to find. It is close to the road so some 2 lane highway noise. To put positive spin on that a lot of Amish buggies go by hearing the horse hoofs on pavement was nice.

We loved the Paradise cottage! It was so clean, well equipped with everything you could ever need, snacks and coffee and even delicious homemade cookies. We all agreed the beds were so comfortable.

The place was very peaceful, welcoming, hospitable, clean and fully equipped with everything a family would need to enjoy the beauty of the country. The only constructive costumer feedback I have is that the price point was higher than originally posted for four guests, but the posting stated it can house six people. We were under the impression that the original posted price would be for up to six people, but we were charged extra when we indicated four people were in the booking.

We loved our stay! We were only there one night, for the Sight and Sound production. This house was conveniently located, and a great price for the 4 of us. There were so many extras (snacks, drinks, ice cream, coffee). The house was clean and neat. We loved all of the signs acknowledging Jesus! The owner and manager were easy to communicate with. They said we could arrive early if we got in town by 3 (I was wondering about going by the house prior to dinner with friends), but we ended up going to the house only after the play.The code works on the front door. There is a lovely back deck.Others mentioned road noise, but it did not bother us. We LOVED hearing the clip-clop of the horses hooves the morning we were leaving.Thanks for a lovely stay! We'll keep you in mind for future stays!
