The privacy of the place was truly refreshing—perfect for unwinding and escaping. We enjoyed the lovely walking trail just steps away from the property. It was a joy to take a walk, soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Plus, being dog-friendly made it even better! This trip was just my husband myself and our puppies. If we came with more of our family having all the outdoor spaces would be great. Overall, I highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in a serene setting. It was exactly what I needed, and I can't wait to return!

Thank you for taking the time to rate your stay and share what you loved. We're so glad you took advantage of the peace-filled trail! Please come back and bring your family :)
Kelly was a great host as well as attentive. The property was all that was described and more. My wife brought our two dogs on an extend weekend in the mountains and instantly were blown away when we pulled into the driveway. The property was beautifully landscaped and maintained. The interior was modern and clean. The only thing we regret is having to leave. We will be back for a longer stay in the near future.

About the host

Why Not Woodland Escape got its name because we literally said WHY NOT move from the city and live on-site in a camper while we design and build our dream home?
WHY NOT also gets its name from the countless branches and trees we handled in the shape of 'Y's' and of course, all the knots in the trees.
Why they chose this property
We spent over two years looking for the perfect acreage for our dream home. And we found it!
What makes this property unique
Our property has it all! Privacy, views, trails, a creek, wildlife, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
