Wonderful!

This was a wonderful property! We sincerely enjoyed every minute of being here! The deer and other wildlife were so fun to watch. Our boys loved wandering the woods around the house, and it was really close to the state parks we wanted to hike! We will definitely be back!

Very clean and the host was very personable and helpful. Quiet setting but when we booked we didn’t realize it was so close to the host’s back door.

Nice quiet retreat

Very quiet cottage. Our host was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the peaceful getaway while we waited out the Hurricane in Florida. It was nice to see all the deer grazing in the nearby forrest. Thank you

Peaceful setting

Piney Woods House was everything we could ask for. Really clean and a true Zen setting. My wife sat on the deck each morning and talked to the herd of deer that camped out in the backyard. Can’t wait to book our next stay with Andy.

The Best

We loved the little cottage. It was clean & homey. When you walk out the door you are faced with a wooded area. So peaceful! In the mornings and in the evenings we enjoyed sitting outside facing the woods and listening to the birds and all of the other sounds of nature. Those tree frogs provided quite a chorus in the evenings! I highly recommend this host and location.
