Amazing stay!

My fiance (now husband) and I loved our weekend at this cabin, and we will be back! We had planned on bringing our kids, but it ended up being just us. The property has some amazing views, and we loved sitting out on the deck with our morning coffee and stargazing in the evening with some wine, listening to the frogs, crickets, and whippoorwills (note: bring insect repellent!) It was also awesome having a pool table and arcade game in the family room. We got married in the front yard early Sunday morning, just us, with only a minister and photographer, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and serene setting. Many thanks to Brian for a wonderful weekend at this gorgeous place!

Annual Girls’ Weekend

This is our groups 3rd time heading to the wine trails and staying at one of Brian’s properties. Everything was wonderful. The cabin is secluded on its own property and right on the wine trail to several wineries. It was actually bigger than what we expected. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of amenities. Brian is always so responsive and accommodating! Looking forward to our next stay.

Great home and location

We rented this property for my daughter's bachelorette party and it was wonderful. We cooked meals together and enjoyed the outdoors. Wonderful home with lots of room. The large master bathroom was great for several women to get ready in without being cramped. Brain was wonderful!
