This place is fantastic – exceptionally clean and easy to find, making for a smooth and comfortable stay. Access was a breeze, which is always a plus. The only thing to note is that it's about 40 minutes from Timberline Mountain. But overall, a great experience!

Such a perfect location between Smoke hole caverns and Seneca Rocks! Walking distance to the famous Triangle Rock! Very spacious house. We LOVED having coffee and conversation in the breezeway. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable! We even got to meet our host, and he was most accommodating! Will stay here again! Book with confidence!

Enjoyable getaway

We had a hard time finding the place, but thoroughly enjoyed it. The house was well built. It was a total throw-back to the 1970's. We mostly enjoyed star-gazing... the sky was so clear and full of stars. Great time!

This home was very comfortable, we was traveling with a little one and the living room was his favorite place, it was so cozy. Also the large back yard was fantastic, we played there for hours chasing butterflies and looking at different flowers. There's a path down to the river where we went fishing every day. This home is a 10 minute drive to senica rock 54 minute to black water falls and other state parks. This home has 3 bedrooms with queen beds in every room. The beds are firm mattress which we all sleep amazing well on. The bed linens for every room is provided. The bedrooms have plenty of dresses and closet space. If you sleep with a fan you will need to bring your own. The master bedroom has an attached bathroom . The other 2 bedrooms share a bathroom that is off the hallway, this bathroom has a double vanity and tub shower combo. The bath towels and wash rages are provided, along with the shower gel, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner and toilet paper. The kitchen has everything you need they provided trash bags, dish soap, silverware, plates, knives, coffee pot, pots, pans everything you would think a kitchen should have we found there. The one thing we did not find was a wine bottle opener. The property owner is very friendly and helpful, he has lived in the area for sometime now and can answer any questions you have on the area. The house is beautiful through out you can tell that someone built it with love. The river is beautiful
