This place is a gem in the forest. Quiet, cozy and spotless clean. Very relaxing and situated innthe beautiful nature. The only thing I never had before, to receive the cheaper cleaning fee - you have to put clean sheets on your used beds. Just ask what incl the small cleaning list…

We have stayed at Wild Rock several times while in the area. It is clean and has exactly what we need to make it an easy, restful stay. David is easy to work with and they provide essentials which is super convenient. They even have coffee pods which was very nice! We hope to be back again sooner than later!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. Wild Rock is located on a quiet street where the only cars seen are people that live in the immediate area. Lots of trees and other flora make for a peaceful getaway in nature while still being close enough to towns for anything you could need.

What makes this property unique

Vaulted ceilings in the living room with Cedar paneled walls. Hot tub on the porch. Private and quiet neighborhood.
