Escaping the cold!!

We were able to get an early check ahead of the storm. Thank you! Had a couple of very small issues while there which were resolved very quickly and efficiently. This is a beautiful home and was perfect for us. Looking forward to returning in the future and hopefully it’ll be available.

Great house in a quiet spot

The house was just what we needed to see the total solar eclipse. The neighborhood was nice and quiet but close enough to stores and restaurants so we didn’t feel isolated. The house was clean and just what we expected.

Awesome stay

Very clean and homey, the location was great also. Super close to Dana Peak park where my husbands race was. Loved staying here, the only thing I have negative thoughts about is the door lock. They need to buy a new one it’s too difficult to unlock, was a pain in the butt every time we came back.

Extended Family Trip

This was a great place for myself, spouse, children, and my parents to stay while visiting family for the week. When we ran into a little tech snag, the owners were on it, provided an immediate alternative, and had someone out the next morning to fix it. The fully outfitted kitchen was great, instructions in the guest book were clear and straightforward, the owners were easily available if we had any questions, and the home itself was very comfortable, and gave us the privacy of our own space while still close to our family. Will definitely book again for future visits!

We stayed here for two weeks while visiting family in the area. The home was exactly as advertised and the owners were great to work with. We were especially happy to bring our two dogs. The fenced yard was great. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.
