*** Pets and Kids:***
We are a Pet and Kid Friendly rental. We allow up to two pets per unit for no additional charge, however, we do require a credit card to be on file in the event there is any damage to the unit or its furnishings. To remain a pet friendly rental, pets that are aggressive towards other dogs, cats or people, will NOT be allowed. Pet owners assume ALL liability for their pets. Aggressive animals will be asked to leave immediately.
All pets are required to be current on shots and must be protected with Flea and Tick medicine BEFORE you arrive. All pets must be crated if left unattended in the units. No exceptions please! For your convenience, we do rent crates of all sizes for $8 per visit (not per night) but it is BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket). Please call us in advance if you will need a crate in your unit. Please note, we will automatically charge your credit card for any damages done to the units, furnishings, linens or towels.
PLEASE help us remain a pet friendly resort and just let us know if your pet had a bad day and accidentally chewed the towel or corner of the rug. We ask only that you reimburse us for the cost of the damaged item.
Even if your pet typically doesn't jump on the furniture, PLEASE bring thick blankets to cover the furniture with anyway! This goes a long way to helping the cleaning people get all the dog hair up before the next guests arrive. Thanks!
The unit is guaranteed to be ready by 4pm. If you plan to arrive early, you MUST CALL us in advance. We will make arrangements to get you in as soon as it is cleaned and ready for you. Please do not arrive earlier than 4pm without calling 1st.
It was our second time! We just love it. It's so great I can bring my dogs and Liz and Marty even organize cradles! What a service. So spacious, clean and far away from our busy life's. Bonfire, hiking, star gazing, nice company... what we all needed. Thanks again for letting us stay at your hidden treasure.
Walnut Hill and Elizabeth were super accommodating for the large group of family we had for Labor Day weekend! Will be going back again!
We absolutely loved the property. It is such a gorgeous, quiet setting out in the country that it lets you forget about the rest of the world for a while. No traffic noise, no sirens, no light pollution, just birds and bugs and dark, starry nights. The house was larger than expected and offered lots of little zones where people could sit and talk or play board games. The kitchen was large and well-stocked with pots, pans, utensils, dishes, etc. Loved having a washer and dryer for clothes and towels (towels provided). Perhaps the most important amenity, the air conditioning, worked great and kept us comfy during our HOT July visit. The property owner is friendly, communicative, and ready to offer recommendations for local attractions. They live close by and told us to reach out if we needed anything at all during our stay. I can see us going back.
We were there to hike but spent a lot of time indoors due to weather.
The property was large and beautiful. We loved the rocking chairs and firepit. Starter supplies were provided, including linens and towels. The kitchen had plenty of cookware, dishes, and space to make meals. We appreciated multiple beds, since our Girl Scouts like their own space. Everything was clean and welcoming. I'd highly recommend purchasing your groceries on your way into town, as the property is a decent drive to Walmart. If you're spending time at the house & cooking, bring your own extra paper towels, foil, bags, etc. We didn't think about those things prior. Wonderful stay. We would return!
Amazing place peaceful and quiet. Owner is super friendly, went hiking and fishing. Stores for food are not far there is bobs and Walmart for food which are only 30 minutes away from house definitely worth it will be back again!
We planned this vacation in advance About 4 months before vacation day, I was rushed to the hospital and have been convalescing ever since. It was was wonderful spending a carefree and undtressful week with my husband and kids. The house is absolutely gorgeous, the hosts were fantastic. Thank you for everything.
Very quite and beautiful place. Loved the big back porch as well.
We came to Shawnee for the hikes. This was very close, including short trails on the property. The property was very clean and included necessities for the 1st night. Thanks, Elizabeth, for having the answers to all our questions for our group.
This home was in a quiet area. It was a pleasure watching the deer. The home was clean; the kitchen was very large. The kids enjoyed the air hockey game. The back deck was nice to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. There was a ramp going to the front porch which made the home easily accessible for my son. We had a great time!
Close to hiking trails and the space was big for our family! We were completely comfortable with how clean it was and had supplies to clean up afterwards. Great communication from the host! Made everything easy for our check in.
My family and i really enjoyed the house, it was very beautiful. The back deck was so perfect for morning coffee, talking and seeing the deer. At night you hear the baby coyotes barking and playing. It was the best time we have had together, none of us wanted to leave.. Thank you Elizabeth for opening your home, we will definitely be back..
This place is great, clean, big enough for us 6 people but will sleep more than that.
The house is located on a beautiful piece of property minutes from Garden of the Gods and other great trails. The house is roomy, well equipped, and has a great porch for just listening to nature. We used both the outdoor grill and the fire pit. the Host communicated very well and we would definitely recommend this property for groups of friends or a large family.
We really enjoyed the place and had a great time. Everything was as expected.
We where 5 moms and 6 kids and had the time of our life's! Hiking, bonfire, playing outside all day long, away from technology and the city stress. we had everything we wished for and Elizbeth is such lovely host. We are coming for sure back, maybe even this year to see the leaves change in fall. 100% recommend!
A group of us got away for the weekend. This house was amazing. Very clean and had everything you could need. Thanks again for letting us rent your home
Address is not updated ( maybe the town or post office) Even the address is on n iron furnace is not access The only access is through Bassett Road
Second time we stayed at this house. Very, very clean and beautiful views from the home. Nice fire pit with furnished wood :)
Great property. Very spacious with great WiFi (needed for spotty cellular coverage). Close enough to all the trails we wanted to hit. Would definitely revisit. Visited with 2 adult children and one teenager. Could have brought a couple friends. Could see a horses grazing while sitting on the back 50 ft covered porch.
Gorgeous property, spacious home, centrally located near some great hikes. Stellar costumer service from owner and employees at the Outpost. Would return.
We truly enjoyed our stay and are making plans to cone back again!!
