The property is as described in the photos and was perfect for our family to stay under one roof for a wedding nearby. The large deck was a nice place to get away from the tv and enjoy the quiet surroundings.

Home away from home
Brandi is great to deal with.
We found the front deck to be very welcoming.
The home is tidy with all the amenities needed.
I recommend this hide away for your stay
This cute house was a nice place for a small cousins' reunion. The front porch and yard would have been awesome if the weather had cooperated. The house was well-equipped and the little welcome snacks were nice. The six of us ladies enjoyed our stay.
This was our third time to stay at this property. We always enjoy the piece and quiet and grilling on the patio. It is conveniently located to the activities we enjoy. Brandi is very easy to communicate with and we always appreciate the quick response! We hope to stay again in the future!
Driving up to the property do not trust the GPS use the directions given, the entrance is a little scetch but once you get past the neighbors place you are taken back to a very quiet and well maintained place.
All the pictures are what you will get when you stay here. The place was very clean and well stocked. We will definitely be staying here again when we are in the area.
House was spacious. Bedrooms felt very private. Gorgeous tub in master bath. Only downside is the couch in the living room. Its a futon style, so a plus for anyone looking for extra sleeping spots, but it wasnt super comfy for hanging out in the living room. The two chairs were very comfy.
Beautiful property. Quick and direct communication with the hosts. Host put alot of attention to detail like Qtips, cotton squares, body wash, steamer etc. There was even a great wine and snack basket waiting!! There were a few problems that impacted our stay minimally but the owner was immediately responsive. We would stay here again!

Peaceful pet friendly home
Our stay here was comfortable and peaceful. The master bedroom bed was in great shape and we slept well. The entire home was very clean! Water pressure was excellent, living area was pretty and comfy. TVs worked well. Yard is very large with mature trees along the edges making for a very private retreat. No street noise at all.
Couple of things to know - the home sits off the road so the driveway is easy to miss. It’s white rock, look for it next to a shed being constructed. Second there were ample dishes and cookware for us but less than in other rentals so if you have a large group you might bring some paper plates. Finally there were plenty of towels for us, but they were the typical cheaper white thin towels so if you are a towel “snob” bring your own 🤣🤣
Our two dogs were very comfortable here and the large deck was perfect for them. They could run and play on the deck or sit and enjoy the weather. We didn’t have time to grill but a nice grill was provided.
Overall highly recommend this home for a comfy stay near Covington but away from the traffic.
