In town cabin !

We plan to go back for a longer stay! The home was perfect and had a little something for everyone including a fenced in yard for our dogs. We had fun playing ping pong and swimming as the weather was so nice. The home was set back so it was private yet close to many stores, restaurants, and a large park that had great walking trails!

Perfect staycation.

The house is so secluded on a hill in the woods we felt like we were in the mountains. It was great to swim, play ping pong, grill out on the deck, ride bikes and walk in Joyner park. The house is beautiful, comfortable and well equipped with everything in perfect condition. Perfect fun vacation for our family.

I had wedding guests stay at the property. It was a perfect location, where you felt away from the world but also near downtown to make errands easy. The hosts were fantastic and super communicative with us about access into the property. The place is well maintained and filled with thoughtful, fun details.

AMAZING mountain cabin in town

My 2 adult daughters and 3 grandchildren enjoyed this beautiful home. The home was immaculate and everything we needed was available. Kitchen was wonderful and even had coffee pods and sugar for coffee. There are games for the kids and the pool is perfect. I cannot say enough good things about this home. The property manager was very responsive. Added bonus was an excellent grocery store and shopping center very close by. I highly recommend this property and hope to stay again in the future.

Excelent Mountain Cab in Town

Our expectations were exceeded! The cleanliness of the cabin and the variety of amenities provided made our stay unforgettable. The children in our group, especially our grandchildren, were thrilled with the activities available. The ping pong table, the Pac-Man machine, and the impressive selection of board games kept them happily entertained for hours.One of the highlights for the kids was making s'mores by the fire pit, which quickly became a cherished memory. Although the cabin is particularly well-suited for children due to the abundance of entertainment options, the adults in our group enjoyed them just as much. We highly recommend this cabin for families, as it truly offers something special for everyone. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

Great Family Getaway

Our stay was well organized thanks to the host and we rarely saw any maintenance show up. There is certainly plenty to do in the area, although the pool and the park, which is in walking distance was about as far as we went. Many stores close to grab whatever you need, and the layout of the property was perfect for our dogs, two kids in their own room and a room for my wife and I. Plenty of shade and sun at the same time so pick your spot. The ping pong table was a hit, as well as the pool and the fire pit. If we needed anything the host was very responsive. Great place to stay and we'd book it again.

Excellent property

This is an excellent property. Location is excellent, close to a really great park (I had some great early morning runs), only a mile from a good supermarket and take out places, and 5 to 10 minutes from some good restaurant options. It is suburban but because it is up a little hill in amongst some trees, you really feel like you're isolated and in the country. For a winter break, it was very cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. There is a fenced in back yard (because of the pool) that our dog thought was just fabulous. We had also good clear quick communication with the owner/manager.

Peaceful, Quiet and Relaxing

It is truly hidden in the town. Isolated yet accessible to restaurants and watering holes. My son and I just sold our business after opening it in 1988. We both needed to relax and unwind. Coming up the long driveway we saw a huge buck, we then entered a beautiful A Frame type house. It had everything we needed, and the pool was used a lot. If we wanted to prepare meals, there was everything necessary, but we ate out. The local pizza place had the best NY style pizza. We treated ourselves to filet mignon that was outstand. We ate cold cereal and milk for breakfast and all the bowls we in the cabinets. The weather was great for the whole stay. The only drawback was that we could not cool the house to our comfort zone. The house was spotless & I would highly recommend this place!
