This stay was beyond anything we expected. From the moment we arrived, it truly felt like we had our own private resort tucked away in the woods. …
It's a beautiful house on beautiful property! We especially loved the peace and quiet, the places to gather as a group and to spread out, and the responsiveness of the host.
Perfect location for families of friends to gather and enjoy time together! Beautiful piece of property surrounded by nature. The house itself is spacious with lots of space to gather and spend time together. The indoor pool is unique and one-of-a-kind; sure to create some lasting memories!
