Our third happy visit

We had yet another good week at the Hobart House (as we call it), with all the quiet and comfort we enjoyed in previous visits. In this age of sprawl, the expansive views were intact, and the house itself was clean and comfortable. We took a hike up and over the mountain behind the property, enjoyed the pond, picked a few wild raspberries and sat around the firepit to soak up the cook evening air. We'll be back!

Secluded

Overall a relaxing little vacation. Some more attention to detail would have added to our experience. The dishwasher wasn’t working, the propane tank for the bbq didn’t get us through the weekend, indoor floor mat would have made keeping the white floor clean a lot easier. Some instructions on where to put dirty linens also would have been appreciated. Only saw 3 ponds, one was usable. If you are looking to relax and sit by the fire this is your best bet. Not sure if I would return though.

Awful Alarm System

The land is beautiful. The house is decent and tastefully furnished. The major downside and spoiler of our vacation was the silent alarm that kept going off by the host indicating there was a big fire. The host provides a fire pit, but the alarm sensor must be too sensitive, because she kept getting alerted and the images on the camera at night show a fire that looks much bigger and scarier than it actually was. The host got furious at us and gave us a bad review because of it. If she doesn't want fires made on her property, she should remove the fire pit. Up until that point, the host had been nice to deal with and easy to communicate with.

Secluded and Relaxing

The property lists 116 acres and 2 ponds but almost all of the acreage is not accessible because of overgrown vegetation. The dishwasher was broken and we were not informed. No sponge no dish rack and no place to dry hand washed dishes. The kitchen lighting was so dim. The refrigerator motor was very noisy. The shower could use a grab bar for safety of guests.

Secluded Mountain Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed waking up to a herd of deer grazing outside our front door. It was private with 116 acres that we enjoyed exploring. The larger of the two ponds had largemouth bass eager to be caught, and my husband accommodated them. If you are a lover of nature, you will love this!

Wonderfully relaxing

Lovely home. Very clean. One wish a "welcome to our home letter" including nearest restaurant, grocery stores, and anything one might need to know about the home. Also, how we should leave thing at end of stay, garbage, used linens and the like. Shower is slippery might want to put grippy thing on the floor of it. Overall great place!

Quick Getaway

The property is located in a serene setting and the picture of country. The house is cute and has some updates. There is music. tv, movies and a few games. We did bring our own games to our usual liking. We hiked up and down the driveway as the hiking trails, for us, weren't marked as to know where we were going and so for safety, we stayed close to the house. We heard a pack of coyotes on the kill, which is another reason we stayed close to the house. We actually heard them 3 times that day. We enjoyed the pond, although the water level is low, due to drought. We did catch some fish, always a fun day. We also brought up some chairs as we fished and did some boating as well. We enjoyed making s'mores every night, which always brings back memories of our childhood. We make a huge family feast of food and enjoyed a cookout on the barbecue. Michelle was in contact with us and responded quickly. There are plenty of towels, sheets, utensils, dishes and a dishwasher, which is a huge plus. You will have a nice time here that is for sure. We do suggest bringing good hiking boots and gear as there are steep hills. We all had such a great time regrouping with our family as a much-needed trip. You will love this place and Michelle is a great host. Enjoy your time.

Amazing stay!

The home was a perfect weekend getaway with spectacular views. We enjoyed the quietness of the location and the pond to fish and boat. Doing yoga in the morning overlooking the pond and mountains was such a treat. The home was so quaint and perfect for our small family getaway. It was stocked with everything and then some! Just bring your food and get ready for nature!

A peaceful private getaway

Comfortable little house, everything we needed was stocked. We all enjoyed an idyllic 3 days of exploring, hiking, boating, swimming and more. We didn’t need to leave the grounds once for entertainment or supplies. Our 2 active boys had more than enough nature to keep them occupied.
