Great Stay!

We enjoyed a great Memorial Day Weekend! The fire pit was fantastic. Our 4 teens enjoyed the games in the basement and watched movies there at night. Matt was an outstanding host! He helped answer all our questions (almost immediately) and gave us great recommendations for eating out in the area. We highly recommend this house and the area for your next getaway!

Cozy cabin in the woods

Great property in a community with plenty of things to do. The game room was a hit with the kids. Owner communication was great and everything was ready and working when we arrived. Would definitely rent again. For a rather sizeable community, the house felt very secluded (in a good way) with lots of privacy.
