Host was lovely, so attentive. The house is adorable and all decorated for rhe holidays. We even had a bit of snowstorm upon arrival and hosts were amazing about clearing snow and ensuring we had power.
We traveled from Ohio to visit family, and this home was absolutely perfect for our stay. Warm, cozy, and tucked away from busy roads, it offered stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. Impeccably clean, and beautifully put together to preserve its historic charm. I cannot recommend this property enough
Such a charming cozy house and beautiful property, it was the there perfect weekend away from the city. Plenty of restaurants and hiking 10-15 minutes away by car and the kitchen had plenty of utensils for meals in. Check in process was very easy and Jodi left a great book with recommendations, easy to follow instructions how to use any of the electronics and appliances and she was very responsive. Definitely recommend this home for anyone looking to stay in the area!
I cannot recommend this house enough. It is an amazing house on an amazing property. The thoughtfulness of the hosts is apparent in every detail they arranged. We visited for an event but are hoping to return just to spend time there. Don't hesitate booking this house.
We LOVED our stay here and plan on returning. It was six minutes from Ski Sundown. The house was clean, cozy, had everything we needed, making it very easy. It snowed a bunch and the walkways were shoveled immediately, the wood-burning stove was a treat and they even re-stocked firewood and left it by the door for us. Thank you!
We really couldn’t be more pleased with this stay - great location for a perfect escape to the countryside. Wonderful thoughtful host with every last detail considered. Absolutely charming and definitely historic house beautifully renovated, clean, well equipped and organized, plenty of space and facilities just as described. Thank you!
