We enjoyed staying at the guest house. It had everything we needed! The owners are super nice and checked on us just after check in. The guest house offers plenty of privacy, but the owners are close enough to deal with any issues that might pop up.

A Dark Sky Delight

For travelers looking for a remote location at which to enjoy a little stargazing, look no further than this delightful country home. Though our stay was short, we enjoyed ourselves and would firmly recommend it to other travelers seeking a place to stay far from the city lights.

Family Wedding

We stayed for our son’s wedding. Everything was very warm and inviting. Our granddaughters enjoyed playing outside in the large backyard. There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 kids. The house was very clean and had lots of books puzzles and games to keep everyone entertained. Will definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Amazing mornings!

This is just the sweetest place. It’s comfortable, spacious, and quiet. Lynn and Charlie made sure we were comfortable and were very responsive to questions we had. We loved making our coffee and sitting outside watching the birds each morning. The mattress were comfortable with quality pillows. The lawn was also mowed and lovely. We all loved our stay and hope to return.

Excellent

A great place to stay for our family gathering to celebrate a wedding. The gravel road could be an issue for some vehicles, depending on weather conditions. Lots of substantial rocks on part of the journey into town. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped, in a peaceful location. We enjoyed listening to a couple of great horned owls and saw a flock of snow geese fly directly overhead. Beautiful!

Beyond thankful for Lynn and Charlie

This stay was amazing. First, the home is warm, accommodating, clean and quiet. The property is well manicured with tons of space to run and play. We had a beautiful fire which was already stacked and ready to go. Beds were comfortable, showers were spacious, kitchen stocked. Second, we had the weirdest experience of car troubles. But Charlie was ready to not only allow a mechanic to come and work on the van, but shared an air compressor and tire patches to ensure everything was ready for us to set sail home the next day. We can’t thank this couple enough for sharing their space with our family. It could have been a vacation wrought with stress, but instead, we were relaxed knowing everything was going to be ok. You never want vehicle trouble on vacation, but I know the universe put us in the right place at the right time.
