Very nice property and location. Lots to do for kids and adults. Property owner was very helpful with any sort of questions. Less than a 10 drive to the riverfront with restaurants, etc. If ever back in the area will definitely book again.

This was a one-of-a-kind trip, in all the best ways. Brandon is a 10 out of 10 host, couldn't ask for anyone better. Towering Pines is stunning, from the well-appointed bedrooms and baths with perfect mattresses, pillows, linens, towels to the spacious updated kitchen which was stocked with goodies waiting for us. Plus the labeling throughout the house made everything so easy to find. The huge dining table right off the kitchen made eating and communicating more enjoyable. We had some rain on our visit, so the many games in the 2 car garage "game room" (beautifully decorated) and the enclosed "party barn" gave us plenty of indoor options. When we were able to sit outside we had a ball on the patio area around the fire pit in big Adirondack chairs playing games. The washer/dryer are in a very convenient spot and all paper goods, toiletries, cleaning materials were fully stocked.Check-out instructions were well communicated and easy to follow. If I had a wedding/reunion/holiday gathering coming up and needed space, I would ABSOLUTELY book Towering Pines again. It is in the quiet country, but only 5-10 minutes from Grafton and easy to find. You are in the country at a beautiful venue which provides only ease and fun, fun, fun. Congratulations Brandon -- much success with your vacation destination.
