Incredible beyond belief!
We just cannot say enough about this amazing property, from the gorgeous and spacious home, to the peaceful and beautiful surrounding property. Everyone in our family, ages 6-88, said this was the perfect vacation. The host took so much time to pay attention to detail and it was greatly appreciated - from the stocked kitchen, to the huge dining tables inside and out, to providing firewood, to the well marked trails. We had such a relaxing week and fully enjoyed the outdoors, especially the back porch! It was a week of creating amazing memories. It is the most comfortable and roomy VRBO we have stayed in over the past 15 years, and something our family is looking forward to doing again!

Here for an annual heavenly birthday celebration. Great accommodations, very well equipped kitchen and attention to detail around every corner. Although the weather was uncooperative and we were unable to enjoy the outdoors, the indoor offerings more than made up for it. No unexpected surprises, everything was as described. Will definitely be back.

Women’s weekend
Our group of friends has been getting together for a fall weekend for 35 years. The property was beautiful and we enjoyed our time there. Many outdoor and indoor spaces to enjoy our time together. We like to cook and the kitchen is well stocked. Our only thought was the size of the kitchen- a little tight compared to the size of the house. Zirvika was very responsive and helpful to our questions.
