Nice front porch, close to SMORR

The house is a little rustic, but everything was clean/in good working order and it has plenty of space. It is only 18 minutes from great off-roading at SMORR and there was plenty of space for parking. There are a handful of gas stations and good restaurants just a few minutes away, but the house itself is a little out of the way so it is nice place to relax. I enjoyed the front porch with a view of the valley across the way.

Great place to stay

This house was a great place for my friend and I to stay for our weekend. Neat, clean, comfortable, well stocked with dishes, cups, glasses and cookware. The sunrise view was amazing! We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area again.

Perfect Out of The Way Spot

Not that Ava is a busy area but the location of this property as described and on the edge of town. Our stay was very quiet and full of nature. We saw deer each day in the field across the road and the neighbors yard and there was a bunch of squirrels in the tree next to the house. Very peaceful to sit and watch them with my morning coffee. The home is perfect for a couple days or longer. I cannot think of anything they did not accommodate for. Hulu for streaming entertainment. We loved it and will be back every time we are in the area to visit family.

The view was amazing

Just out of town with an amazing view. It wasn’t quite ready when we got there, the host was still cleaning. Which was kinda awkward but she was very apologetic about it and made a trip back to bring us sheets for an air mattress. Overall a decent stay.

Our tv wasn’t working and Faron came and looked at it and replaced it right away. We are returning thanksgiving week, I need to do some of thanksgiving dinner and would appreciate a clean oven. It it messy looking right now and I didn’t cook there this time. I noticed its supply of pots n pans are very limited. Other than that it was fine. Thank you

Family ThanksChristmas

House is very cozy. I loved that the owners had ice in freezer for us, all towels, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee for keurig maker. I had problems with fridge and she was quick to help on the day of Thanksgiving. I will definitely stay there again when visiting family. So much nicer and no comparison than the disgusting Super 8 in town.

Peaceful Retreat

What a quiet and relaxing place to stay! We loved the sunrises over the trees from the front porch. The kitchen was decently stocked with mismatched dishes and utensils- which fit the casual country ambiance perfectly and was completely functional. Farron and Nacole were great hosts. When I mentioned that I did not see a spatula/scraper, they delivered one to the house straightway! Note that the tub/shower only functions as a shower, but not as a tub for baths- unless we just couldn't figure out how to make it work. Although we typically only stay at places with king beds (I'm 6'4"), we made do with the queen beds- which were very comfortable. We would definitely consider staying here again!
