Our stay at Tawnya’s Secret Hideaway was fantastic. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. The back patio was especially wonderful. We spent a lot of time on the swing enjoying the view. The cozy atmosphere of the house made it easy to unwind, and the quiet surroundings added to the charm. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable and don’t want to leave. We’re already looking forward to coming back.

We were in town for a family reunion so didn’t spend as much time at the house as we would have liked but really enjoyed drinking coffee in the morning on the back patio. Such a lovely view! The house was comfortable and we had everything we needed.

We are a senior couple traveling to our grandson's wedding. The location was convenient to the wedding venue and everything was clean and the communication with the host was prompt and responsive. Two suggestions. The bed in the front bedroom is so high off the ground, I could not get in it without a stool which we happened to have in our truck. A stool and another chair/bench to sit on while dressing would be a good addition. More detailed instructions on how to access streaming services could be included in the house binder.

Thank you for staying with us while visiting for your grandson’s wedding! We’re glad the location worked well for your trip and that you found the home clean and our communication responsive. We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestions regarding the front bedroom and will keep them in mind as we continue looking for ways to improve the home. The TVs are smart TVs that allow guests to sign into their preferred streaming apps, and we appreciate the feedback about making that information clearer in the house guide. We hope you had a wonderful time celebrating with your family and wish you safe travels!

The veiw from the backyard is amazing! The same amazing view can be seen from the upstairs bedroom. The location was easy to get to and in a very quiet neighborhood. We even saw several deer roaming the neighborhood and property. The beds were the most comfortable beds I have EVER slept in! I wish we could have stayed longer, we would love to stay here again in the future.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the views — that backyard (and the upstairs bedroom!) really does offer something special, especially when the deer make an appearance. It’s one of our favorite parts of Tawnya’s Secret Hideaway too. We love hearing that the beds were the most comfortable you’ve ever slept in — that’s the kind of feedback that makes our day! Comfort and peaceful surroundings are exactly what we hope every guest experiences. We’d absolutely love to have you back anytime. 🌿✨
