We had a wonderful time staying here! The host was easy to contact for any questions, and the house was set up in a warm and welcoming way. The electric stove/oven was a little harder to use as we are used to a gas range, but overall, it worked out well. We would highly recommend this place to everyone!

We really enjoyed the property. You have done a nice job. One recommendation would be to stock some of those roaster skewers for roasting marshmallows. Loved the fire pit! Might consider central air or wall units in the bedrooms, but it wasn't bad.

Thank you so much for the kind feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the property and the fire pit. We really appreciate the suggestions—marshmallow roasters are a great idea, and we’ll definitely get some stocked! We're also planning to add additional A/C options to make summer stays even more comfortable. Hope to host you again in the future!

Thank you! We didnt get to utilize all that your home had to offer, but the beds were very comfortable. We had a close encounter with a mountain lion/cougar the first night. We had to chase him out of a tree on the property near the driveway so we could park the trailer. Also, we had to find the wifi password on the back of the modem because the password provided had one too many “1’s”. Thank you for a memory filled experience.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you found the beds comfortable and were able to make lasting memories during your stay. We’re so sorry about the mix-up with the WiFi password and will get that corrected right away. That must have been quite the adventure with the mountain lion — definitely a memorable story! We’d be happy to host you again anytime.
