Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Cute house. Nicely decorated/cool aesthetic. Very clean. Modern. Perfectly located near all of the Shawnee National Forest must see natural beauty! Hot tub is perfect after long day of hiking. Nice patio with grill and outdoor dining table for those who prefer to cook on vacation (kitchen is well equipped and looks great as well). But honestly, we went out for brunch/dinner in the nearby towns.The house is set back from a lightly traveled road. Road noise was not a problem. In fact we enjoyed our morning coffee on the front porch listening to a wide variety of birds (download the Merlin app to see just how many!!!). Night sky is incredible. Saw meteors! Air conditioning great on a humid night. washer/dryer combo made things really convenient. Easy check in / check out process. Overall a top notch stay!
