Great place to unplug!
The property is in a remote spot with beautiful scenery. We were only there for one night, so we didn't have a chance to explore. House was very clean, and stocked with everything you'd need to cook. There is a game room with a pool table and plenty of games to keep everyone entertained without WiFi. Highly recommend it!

Lovely Time
I am getting ready to take a big exam for work and needed a night away from the house and all my schoolwork to reboot and rest to be ready for the big test day. Being able to hang out at the house and relax and be unplugged was perfect. It’s a sweet little house. Very welcoming with beautiful surroundings. We will definitely hook again in the future!
