We had a wonderful stay here! The house was beautiful and clean. We agreed it was the cleanest place we’ve stayed in a while. Everyone was comfortable. Such a cute and cozy place. The amount of towels provided were a great touch. The purpose of our stay was for whitewater rafting so the location was perfect. Would absolutely stay here in the future if we were ever in the area again. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're sorry to hear the mattresses were too firm for you; we appreciate you letting us know. We aim for a comfortable stay and will add a note to the listing about the mattress firmness, as we know it's a personal preference. We're also looking into adding a mattress topper option for future guests who prefer a softer feel. Thanks again for helping us improve!

What great home. Perfect getaway for a celebration. The house was spotless and beautifully appointed. Since we were there over New Year’s we did a lot of cooking. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. The appliances were all new. We contacted our host several times prior to our arrival. She was extremely responsive. I highly recommend this property and would rent it again without question.

This was hands down the best VRBO property we’ve ever rented! Super clean, updated and just beautiful! The owners obviously take great pride in this home. The little touches- coffee pods, condiments, foil, saran wrap, sandwich bags, etc.- really helped to make things convenient. We’ll definitely be staying here again!
