This home was absolutely gorgeous, even better than the pictures. Everyone was extremely comfortable, there was plenty of space and the host provided everything we needed. She also included some extra little items that were a nice surprise. Each year my extended family gets away so we can all spend sometime together. This was BY FAR the best place we have stayed. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning. I

This place was absolutely amazing! Pictures don’t do it justice. Our kids cried when we left because they had such an amazing time. It’s peaceful, beautiful, quiet, clean and there is so much to do between the game room and the ponds. We already are planning our next trip to come back!

Middlehaven Heaven

What a wonderful weekend we had! Middlehaven is a beautiful home and the property had everything we needed to make our stay perfect! The beds were very comfortable, every guest slept so peacefully. The house was so clean and spacious. And provided so much space and comfort for our entire group. The amenities were amazing! The hosts were unlike any I’ve encountered. This was by far, the nicest VRBO property I’ve stayed at from the actual property to the hosts. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

The house and property were incredible. We had 12 people and 2 dogs for 2 nights - and we felt at home. Rose thought of absolutely everything for the house. Only a few minutes from grocery stores/restaurants but you feel like you’re in your own world. Will definitely be back!

Beyond Expectations!

Our family of 23 had an exceptional stay at Middlehaven. The space was immaculately clean, well decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, from local recommendations to thoughtful little touches in the living area and around the property. The location was perfect— quiet, yet close to everything we may need. We could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing hosts!

We were so impressed by how welcoming these hosts were! We received a letter in the mail weeks before our stay, emails, & a welcome bag with goodies! So much thought went into everything on the property to make it family friendly.. from the stocked mini fridge to the dry kindling for a campfire in a waterproof bin next to the fire pit! We will definitely be recommending this place to our friends and family!!

Awesome House and Host

We stayed at Middlehaven and it’s such a beautiful house. It looks just like the pictures. Plenty of room for our family and little details go a long way. Awesome coffee and tea bar. No need to bring condiments. The beds are so comfy. Towels and hot tub towels provided. Light switches all labeled. The game room is fun for the whole family!

Wedding Weekend

Middlehaven is immaculate and taken care of by excellent hosts in Brian & Rose. There were no problems throughout our wedding weekend and it was a huge relief to know we were in good hands. I’d list the amenities but I can just say there is everything you could need for a stay at Middlehaven and they have very thoughtfully put everything together.

Eclipse Family Reunion both 2 long between

The property was amazing. We were able to have a multi-generational reunion on a property set in the wooded, rolling hills country side while being close to everything. All the spaces; gathering, recreational and sleeping were wonderful and kept everyone engaged while reconnecting. The host continually checked in from reservation to check out to make sure we were connected and comfortable.

Boys Birthday Weekend

Our family hosted a 13th birthday party for our son. He and his friends were entertained all weekend. The property was stunning, the area is remote and private. The basketball court, game room and jacuzzi were a big hit. The house was decorated for the holidays, which made it feel like a home away from home. Rose was a dream to work with,she even got balloons for the birthday celebration. We can’t wait to come back!

Fun for the whole family

Our group of 23 stayed for three nights with people aging from 1 - 68 and everyone had a great time. We definitely plan on coming back! The property was great for hiking, sitting around the fire, playing in the sand, and playing on the basketball court. The house fit everyone comfortably (even with 3 babies) and the kids couldn’t get enough of the basement. Rose was quick to respond and great with communication before and after our stay.

Great Stay!!

We were thankfully able to find this house last minute after another reservation was canceled. This house was absolutely perfect for our 4th of July weekend vacation! Rose was absolutely wonderful and responded quickly to all of our questions! There was SO much to do and never once did we feel like we needed to leave the house: between the ponds, campfire, and game room basement. The house was also so cleanly when we arrived. Absolutely beautiful and we would LOVE to stay again!

Enjoyable Long Weekend in an amazing house

We continued our yearly guys weekend at this amazing location. So much room. A ton of beds and bathrooms. We spent a lot of time on the decks as well as the basketball court. Kitchen had everything we needed to get enough food prepared for each meal. We are already talking about which weekend we will pick for next year.
