    Amazing property for a family gathering. Best kind of VRBO: you imagine what it would be like to live there permanently. Not far from town but very private. Lots of excellent finishes and equipment. Highly recommended.

    Our family had a wonderful weekend getaway at this beautifully decorated countryside rental home. The house was thoughtfully furnished and came equipped with plenty of amenities, making our stay comfortable and relaxing. One of our favorite features was the wrap-around back porch—it was the perfect spot to sip morning coffee while soaking in the peaceful surroundings and watching the abundant wildlife. The tranquility of the countryside truly made for a refreshing escape. To top it all off, communication with the hostess was excellent—responsive, helpful, and welcoming, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

    This house has been well kept, very clean, and well stocked with essentials of both ingredients as well as dishes and cooking utensils. The back porch is welcoming and overlooks pastureland where you can usually see deer in the morning and evening, and watch birds anytime. Absolutely everything we needed could be found here. We loved our stay at this house so much the first time we visited that we didn't hesitate to come back to it.

    This is a beautiful, relaxing, comfortable and roomie house. This is our second visit to this property in several years and it is nearly perfect. Suggestions: There is an almost imperceivable semi step up from the kitchen to the bedrooms which is almost impossible to see because of the dark wood and could cause an unsuspecting person to trip. Maybe add something colorful to draw attention to the unevenness of the grade; another is the locks on the back doors; they are stubborn and the side door to the outside table requires a person to go out the back door to unlock it from the outside with the house key. Some graphite would probably fix the problem. A new skillet in the kitchen would be nice. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to lay back and relax for a long weekend. We spent hours in rocking chairs, playing games and dining on this covered porch which is a highlight of this house. I would go back in a heartbeat!

    This house was fantastic! Had such a pleasant time sitting on the great wraparound porch watching nature pass us by. The number of deer and beautiful cardinals that paid us a visit was spectacular!
