Beautifully furnished interior; convenient amenities; very charming. The owner spent time and attention to details was obvious. iPhone chargers, CD’s, etc. Felt completely at home, without the impersonal atmosphere of a hotel, at the same price.

Getaway Cottage

This great little cottage style home was perfect for our purposes as we awaited the completion of our home construction. It’s also a perfect stay for those who are looking for a peaceful location which has the feeling of remoteness yet close to many great locations and activities.

Quiet get away in an updated comfortable home

My pup and I needed a quiet place for the weekend while the airshow event was scheduled near our home and jets were were flying over the neighborhood. Loved staying at this quiet peaceful home. Nicely updated and comfortable home. Sarah is a great host (my dog Honey agrees)!

You’re going to want to stay here…

Just the cutest little spot! I found myself wishing I had longer to stay. It was just me and the space was wonderful but it would be comfortable for a couple or two friends or a parent/child. It was peaceful and quiet and absolutely adorable. Comfy bed, thoughtful extras like chargers near the bed & near the couch, coffee pods and creamer cups, coloring books with colored pencils. The outdoor space was beautiful with mature trees! Wifi was great, TV had streaming options, and the fireplace with the flameless candles on top added so much charm. Host was friendly and communicative but nonintrusive. I hope to return sometime :) thank you for a great stay!

Quiet cozy NYE

We went up here for the long New Year’s weekend. The rental was very clean, well furnished, and had plenty of things for us to see, read and watch. We especially noticed the decorations from different cultures around the world. Well, we didn’t see chickens and bunnies this time we did see some deer and a very friendly cat. Highly recommend it.
