We had a wonderful time in your beautiful house. It was spacious and delightful. Everything we needed was there. The beds were luxurious. We used and loved the hot tub, I lost at horseshoes, my grandchildren swung in the hammock, we enjoyed the fire pit. What a wonderful way to enjoy my 90th birthday with my children and grandchildren (all grown, but no greats yet). Thank you.

Where do I even start?! Crystal was kind, helpful, and accommodating from the moment I booked her home for our family vacation. Check in was a breeze and as soon as we pulled up to her property, it was breathtaking. We were a party of 10 and there was plenty of space for all of us. Her home provided us with everything we needed and more. It is very well maintained, and clean. We will definitely book again!

This was our second time renting Crystal‘s fantastic house for our girls weekend. This year we were nine women and we stayed for three nights. We enjoyed the hot tub and the backyard between rain showers. The living space was very comfortable inside! And the sleeping arrangements were very comfortable as well!
