Absolutely the perfect spot. The hosts Rick and Chris are very sweet and communicative. The house itself is well thought out and has all the things you could possibly think of. Sitting out on the back patio, drinking a cup of coffee and listening to the birds was perfect!

Most relaxing
This beautiful cottage is very comfortable and cozy. The beds are also comfy, linens are great. It is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need for a week or a months stay! It is squeaky clean, dishes are beautiful and the views are amazing❤️. I am making another reservation for next week to bring my husband …just to relax and unwind💙. The wood work inside is gorgeous and…an old fashioned-but new-bathtub…so luxurious! Lights are all labeled so there is no guessing!! This place is pure heaven!!

A literal dream
This place is as peaceful as it gets. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s the cleanest vacation rental I’ve ever stayed at. The home feels very cozy and inviting with every single thing you could need/want. The location is very easy to get to but you feel in the middle of nowhere in the best way. To make it even better, the owners are the sweetest and most accommodating hosts I’ve ever worked with. Communication was wonderful and they were so friendly and warm themselves. I will be back very soon and if you’re even debating this home, you won’t regret it!
