⭐ 5 Star Reviews from our past guests:
The Airbnb was lovely - it was beyond my expectations when I walked in, charming, cozy, elegant and the amenities we very thoughtful. The land was peaceful, beautiful and very accommodating. Anna was great to communicate with and the owner's were wonderful!
Whether you are traveling alone or with a group or family this would be a great place to stay - I highly recommend it! - Emily

We loved staying at this serene home. We celebrated New Years Eve as a family, playing games and singing songs. We're a loud family, so being in the country removed the worry that we needed to lower our voices. The home is a fantastic throwback, though very well cared for and updated. It's like staying at Grandma's for the weekend. Everything you need is there! Lots of spices in the kitchen, full set of pots & pans, butter, and condiments in the fridge. We also appreciated the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower. Thanks for a great stay! highly recommend! - Kerri
