"What a beautiful place! We loved it so much and will definitely stay here again. You can tell the owners take great pride in this place, so clean and so well taken care of. The hot tub was a favorite for our family. The huge deck with the fire pit was fabulous. The bedrooms were set up perfectly. Comfortable beds, fluffy towels, our whole stay was fabulous. The owner Jim checked in with me every single day with a text to make sure there were no issues. His communication before, during, and after our stay was fabulous. I highly recommend this property for your stay in the Hills. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Jim!"
