Best VRBO ever!

Before we were unpacked, our group was already planning our next visit back to MiddleHaven. The beauty of it all and attention to detail was impressive. I would give more than five stars if I could.

This property is absolutely amazing! There was plenty of space for 20 of us. Activities included basketball, kayaks, game room, hot tub. But what impressed us the most was the attention to detail by the owner! There were so, so many unexpected perks! We will definitely be 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!

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!

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.

MiddleHaven - A True Gem for Celebrations!

Our family had an unforgettable time celebrating a 40th birthday at Middlehaven. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for creating lasting memories. We enjoyed playing games, indulging in delicious food, and admiring the thoughtful gifts left by our wonderful host. The attention to detail made all the difference! We can't wait to return to this fantastic Vrbo for future celebrations and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable gathering with loved ones. Thank you, Middlehaven, for making our special occasion even more extraordinary!

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!

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.

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.

A cozy location for an extended family Christmas!

Middlehaven exceeded our expectations for the space and amenities we needed for our large family Christmas celebration! We ranged from Grandparents to infant and every need we encountered was thought of in this space! Rose put little touches of Christmas decor in each room and a large beautiful tree in the living room that created such a cozy environment for our stay! The coffee bar was a popular hub for adults and teens as we enjoyed warm beverages all day! We played games, read books, lounged in the comfortable seating, soaked in the hot tub and the kids were entertained for hours in the basement when the sun would set early and it was too cold to be outside! That’s just the highlights of our stay, but much more could be said in detail!

Great Classmates Friendsgiving Getaway

Great location and place for our 6 adult couples to stay for a long weekend and celebrate 35yrs of friendship with a big Friendsgiving meal. The fully stocked kitchen, large table, 5 bedrooms, pullout couch and 4 bathrooms provided all the space we needed to not only enjoy time together but also allowed us space to spread out as well. We also took advantage of the firepit, hot tub, BB court and gaming systems…fun for all!! We loved the place and appreciated the attention to details and quick responses Rose and Brian provided. If concerned with stairs this may not be the place for you but if looking for a clean, spacious and entertaining place to stay we highly recommend it; you get what you pay for and more!!

Perfect Family Fun

We wanted to find a house that my whole family could stay in together while I was in town from Atlanta. I have stayed in quite a few VRBO homes and have never seen one as well stocked as this house. The communication and attention to detail from the owner was above and beyond. The house was extremely clean. The kids enjoyed the game room, the basketball hoop, the swimming hole, and the kayaks. Everyone enjoyed sitting out on the decks, the firepit, the hot tub, and being able to spend time together in such a beautiful home.
