Morning light filters through the forest canopy as you step onto the front porch swing, coffee in hand, while the creek beside the house murmurs softly. In the evening, the fire‑pit glows under a sky full of stars, inviting laughter and toasted marshmallows.

Outdoor living

The property rests on two acres of private woodland, featuring two creeks that merge into a front‑yard pond. A covered pavilion with an oversized fire‑pit and comfortable seating surrounds a 16‑person dining table, perfect for al fresco meals.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was so clean and inviting upon our arrival and the owners were very responsive to any questions. A family favorite was the outdoor fireplace, it was so cozy. The short drive downtown was also a nice perk. We are definitely hoping to come back and stay again!

Very spacious

We thought this would be the ideal property for our family to gather for our daughter's wedding, so we paid a premium for the accommodations. While the house is spacious & well equipped, a major problem occurred on Day 1 of our 4 day stay, which negatively impacted the balance of our stay. The 2nd floor bathtub leaked into the 1st floor bedroom right into our open luggage. Our suitcases & contents were sopping wet, as was the carpet in the room. We spent Day 2 washing all of our clothes and re-preparing them for the wedding. The wet rug smelled terribly throughout our stay. No remedy was offered during our stay. While the owners' gesture of a gift basket on our departure day was appreciated, it paled in comparison to the inconvenience caused by the leak. We requested a refund commensurate with the inconvenience, but the owners did not respond. If these problems had not occurred, we would have given this property 5 star ratings as it is a lovely property for a family gathering.
