This home was absolutely stunning!! The pond was so fun for adults and children, it was like having your own private lake right in the back yard. The home was very clean and welcoming. We brought our dogs and they also enjoyed running around and swimming in the pond. The Bote floats made for some great lazy days just enjoying the quiet and sunshine. The location is perfect. Quiet, dead end road. We couldn’t see or hear anyone from where the house is but close to stores if you need something. There are trails outback for bike riding or walking your dog. All in all, a perfect place for a family getaway. Ryan, the host, was very responsive and did everything to make our stay enjoyable!
