This was an amazing place for my family to stay. Very convenient and just a short drive to lots of local shops such as Bushes and Bunches and the Matanushka Wednesday Farmers market. We loved the wide open floor plan and extremely quiet neighborhood. The kids loved the upstairs pool table. Would highly recommend a stay here and we would love to stay here again in the future. Excellent communication with the owner too!

Incredible host and hostess! Great place for family and friends. Four of us stayed there during my niece’s wedding week but had loads of family and friends over for dinner and relaxing. Would stay there again in a minute and have recommended it to friends and family.

Wow! We could not be more pleased by this place! The location is gorgeous with wild life at your backdoor! Randy is an amazing host. He is very available for any questions. The house is fabulous for hosting guests with more than plenty of room. The amenities had something for everyone from hot tubs to kayaks! I would recommend this place to anyone, hands down! We would love to come back again!
