Hunting & couple getaway
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. He was hunting in an area about 10 min away. It was he getaway we both needed. Very clean and it was nice that it had all the kitchen stuff that I needed to cook.

Perfect place to unwind
Lots of personal touches makes it feel like your home away from home as soon as you walk in. The home and property is perfect to relax and unwind. It's secluded enough to enjoy the peace and quiet but not too far away from town. Any and all questions I had were answered quickly and the host(s) thought of everything! There was no reason whatsoever to leave if you didn’t want to. The best part was sitting on the deck in the morning enjoying coffee while the cows strolled up to have breakfast. My dog also loved the cows and it was so nice to find such a lovely place to travel to with my dog and not be charged extra fees. I highly recommend this home and hope to return someday for a much longer stay as we were only able to enjoy a long weekend.

Another Great Stay
This was our third or fourth girls’ weekend at this property and it never disappoints. Everything is clean, well stocked, and convenient. We were pleasantly surprised with the new ramp going to the side door. It made loading and unloading the cars so much easier. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the deck. We did venture out to the Twisted Vine Winery this time which is just a few miles away. We had a tasting and purchased a few bottles to take back to sip on the deck. I ran into a snag when my tire caught a small rock. Stapleton Towing came out to put on a donut so that I could stop for a tire on the way home. They gave us fast and friendly service and I didn’t even have to put down my glass of wine! 😂

Great house plan and excellently equiped for our group
We were there for a family reunion in Patriot so the location worked for us but was very rural on a gravel road .

Family memorial service
The property was perfect for our situation. The owners thought of everything we might possibly need. We were in town for a family memorial service. It was so nice to have the home to retreat to any evening rather than a hotel room.

PERFECT
That is the only word for this property. We were looking for somewhere to take our dogs to get away from city fireworks and this place was far better than we were hoping it would be. Nothing is lacking. The host has thought of everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Just a beautiful house on a beautiful spot. Loved seeing the cows and deer! This was the best VRBO we’ve stayed at. Thank you for sharing your property with us all and for allowing our dogs! We will definitely be back.

Escape from it all
This was what was needed for US. No one around and nothing to do, but watch the birds and other wildlife from the deck. There isn't much else to do if you need activity. Nicole's place provided all that was needed and many homey touches throughout. She responded quickly to items that needed immediate attention.
