Very clean. Easy to get to from Route 81. Close to every thing that we wanted to do. Very quiet. Outside the village but close to restaurants. Comfortable furniture. This was our second time staying here. We look forward to staying again.

The Best
My group of 4 adults travel each June via motorcycle to a new destination. This year, we wanted to ride the Back of the Dragon. Margaret's property is perfect for this. It's less than a mile from Rt 16 and is the nicest vrbo I have stayed in to date. This completely renovated house is meticulously furnished and maintained. Everything is new and works perfectly. We grilled on the outdoor propane grill, relaxed on the outdoor furniture and kept our bikes safe and dry under the carport at night and during the one day it rained. The shower is everything the other reviewers have noted and more. This is a truly exceptional property. You won't be disappointed.

This property reminded me of my Grandmother’s house. It was clean, beautiful, convenient, and easy to get to, quiet. . It is a little way from downtown but not bad. We really enjoyed it. The shower was a hidden treat!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were in town visiting a sick relative and Margaret's home was clean, inviting, and offered some very welcomed comfort during our stay. Margaret was very helpful with providing information for the check-in and check-out process. The kitchen was well equipped and the shower was awesome!

Perfect Girls Getaway
We’ve stayed in many VRBO properties and my daughter and I agreed this was the best one so far. Thank you Margaret for your hospitality! The kitchen was clean, had more pots, pans, bowls, and spices than we needed to make dinner and breakfast, and the home was warm, welcoming, and had a beautiful view. We’ll be back if we find oursrlves back in the area again.

Absolutely spotless, very well maintained home! Fantastic shower (now I have to buy one for my home because my wife loved it so much) so many utensils/appliances to use in the kitchen was nice! We cooked in the kitchen every day. We will definitely be back!

Great getaway
We loved staying here for our annual trip to Marion. It was easy to access, clean, comfortable, kid and family friendly. The shower was a highlight and we were welcomed with a personalized sign when we got arrived. We had an unexpected issue pop up late in the evening one night. The host was easy to contact and quickly respond to the issue. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Yearly Get together
I grew up in this area, and familiar with the street. The home was clean and easy to access. Fortunately, we ate our meals out, so we wouldn’t dirty up too much. The back bedroom wasn’t slept on at all, the other back bedroom was slept on the bedspread only. The other bedroom, we stripped the sheets, put dirty towels together, and took the garbage with us. I usually stay in a hotel, but was thrilled to find this rare gem that had a walk in shower. My son has seizures, so this was a perfect fit us. I hope we didn’t bother anyone with the ring doorbell. We were in and out a lot. Thank you again for allowing us to stay at this wonderful home. Ginger Ewing

Great experience and home!
We use VRBO often and have always had a good experience but this stay was one of the best. The house was very nice and clean, the owners added a personal welcome message in the kitchen which was a very nice touch. The shower system is amazing especially after a long day hiking in this beautiful area. They communicated very well and we will definitely be staying there again in the next few months. It is a great area to get outdoors and disconnect and this house is the perfect place to come back to and relax and rest.
