Grass was not mowed which defeated the purpose of renting it for easter weekend kids couldnt play in the grass. Blinds need replaced and curtains added in room with bunkbeds due to sun shining in early am.

Awesome Quiet Place

We had a great stay. This property is exactly as advertised, and is a great retreat. We had an event in Fulton MO which brought us from Nebraska (and ultimately from AZ).... and we could not have asked for a better stay. The host was awesome, and communicated great, check in was a breeze and the place was perfect. Overlooking a pond, a short hike to a creek, and close enough to the places we needed to go. And not to mention the wildlife! We saw at least 50 deer during the few days we were there. Thank you Hailey! The Ferrons
