The full walkout basement is finished as well offering another living room area, a full bathroom, and a bunk room!

Family Vacation

Plenty of fun opportunities to explore, observe wildlife, and bird watch. The home is nicely designed and welcoming. We loved sitting on the porch and feeling the evening breeze. Nice clean and usable kitchen!!!On the downside, the rest of the house needs a good cleaning. The bottoms of the sliding doors need scrubbing and cleaning. I suggest the beds and other furniture be pulled away from the walls when the floors are cleaned.

Lovely Retreat

My husband and I enjoyed this retreat for an Autumn anniversary getaway. The home itself is wonderful, very clean and cozy. The standout feature really is the property. Wood trails, benches and swings, pretty ponds! It is spacious and the foliage is eclectic! I noticed some very fun forts that my kids would love to use in the yard.

Relaxing spot

Nice getaway from it all. Quiet area with beautiful trails. Great place for kids! The property had all kinds of neat things for kids to explore and indoors was well suited for both kids and adults. Very clean and comfortable.
