Quiet Getaway

This is a perfect-off the beaten path getaway. It is close enough to the city to enjoy its conveniences but just far enough away to feel you’ve escaped. The house was eclectic and comfortable. We loved opening the doors and listening to the birds. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

Sweet and Simple

My friends and I (all females) felt very comfortable at the Mosaic. Everything was already inside the rental that we needed to cook, also has the cutest spot to build a small campfire which we fell in love with. There is nothing negative that we can say about our stay, the hosts were very informative and communicative. We had such a great time during our stay! Definitely will be coming back on our next vacation.

The communication with owner was great! I do wish there was extra blankets or pillows. The place was minimal but the price matched what you got. There was no TV which we didn’t realize but that was our fault for not paying attention to the description and amenities.
