Check-in was smooth and easy. The hosts were very quick to respond and easy to communicate with regarding any questions. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed and had 2 ovens for cooking plus a blackstone outside. Having our 3 families together we had plenty of space for sleeping, cooking and we loved the basketball court out back for the kids to play on.

Perfect weekend with the family! Great location to explore so much nearby and still feel out in the woods. Views from the deck are gorgeous, kids loved having basketball and the stars were unbelievable! Lots of room for bigger groups to spread out and have their own space too. The upstairs loft area is separate enough for some piece or for the kids to enjoy without being isolated. Both Sarah and Bruce are extremely kind and responsive. A all around!

It's a great place to stay especially for a group. We took turns cooking our evening meal and the kitchen amenities and size made it very convenient. I could even say amazing. Having two indoor gathering areas - upstairs and downstairs as well as the dining room table really worked out nicely. Great outdoors also. And, again multiple gathering areas. Most of our group was in our 70's but I could see there would be plenty of things to entertain young children as well as young adults.
