Great Weekend

We had a great time at Chuck and Carolyn rental property. This house was clean, well stocked, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed teaching our son how to play pool. There's a State park just a few miles away with great trails to take our pooch on a walk too.

New Year's Trip 24/25

We have stayed at this property twice in the past. Unfortunately, there was a last-minute illness that prevented us from being able to go this time. Too late to cancel. Just one of those things. Nobody's fault.We hope to book another trip to this property in the future, because it is just a nice, quite place to relax and unplug for a few days.

Fantastic home away from home

Carolyn and Charles always make our experience at their home wonderful. Their recent upgrades to the house are very nice. The little extras they provide, like snacks, are greatly appreciated. Sitting on the deck is very relaxing. This was our third stay with them and I'm sure we will be back.

2nd time as great as the first

This is my second stay and I just adore this clean, quiet place with super nice owners. I have family in the area, and it is so nice that they can come visit me here instead of a motel room, or me always doing the running. Being able to bring my 2 little frenchies is a huge plus! So very happy I found this gem. Already planning my next visit!

Highly recommend

The house and property are a perfect getaway. There were nice added touches such as snacks, coffee and pretty much anything you needed. It was very clean and would highly recommend it. The kitchen is fully stocked and lots of linens as well as outdoor furniture. It is in a safe neighborhood and everyone was very friendly. It is only a few miles from the bicycle trail. We will be planning our next stay here. I cant say enough good things about this place.

Great stay for our fishing trip!

This house is in a quiet country neighborhood but just a couple minutes down the road you have food and gas available plus a DG if you forgot anything. The house is beautiful inside and the hosts showed great hospitality from the informative walkthrough, to the complimentary snacks and drinks. Apart from my own bed these were the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in! The house is laid out quite nice, and the backyard and deck were beautiful. When you stay make sure to make use of the game room in the basement! We enjoyed our stay and we'll be back again next year!

Small, but everything to offer

The owners of this property go out of their way to make a stay fantastic! They keep it well-stocked with all the thing you realize you need, but realize it too late (ziploc bags, corkscrews, etc). They were SO helpful with directions and local tips. It's far removed from anything, but 20 minutes to everything! Outlet mall and restaurants, wineries, etc. This was a very comfortable, welcoming trip for us and the dogs. Wish I could have stayed the whole month, but some other lucky renters beat us to the experience. Would highly recommend!

Best VRBP Rental Ever!

Wow! Just Wow! We've used VRBO a number of times over the years, but I have to say this was the most welcoming, home-like stay we've had. From meeting Carolyn at the beginning as she walked us through the layout, to all the little things like half and half in the fridge, coffee, snacks, all the little toiletries...just amazing! We were looking for just a long weekend getaway to enjoy some time together along with our dog, Strider, but I can guarantee that we'll be back probably for a longer stay! Thank you SO much for a wonderful experience!
