Excellent Stay

The property was very clean and set in such a peaceful atmosphere. The house was far enough from the city to be peaceful but close enough to a lot of amenities to be very convenient! The Host was also very communicative and very nice. I highly recommend this property.

Sweet country house

I rented this house for my family while we were attending an event nearby. We were gone most of the time, but this house provided a great place to rest. Check-in was easy. It was clean and quiet, well supplied. The beds were comfortable. We would definitely go back.

AWESOME PLACE!!!!

This beautiful home is exactly as described and is in a beautiful area. The peace and quiet was great, the locals were all very friendly! This home has a feeling of belonging. So comfortable, so warm and welcoming. If we ever get back to the area, we will definitely book this AWESOME PLACE!!!! The flea market was great but our favorite activity was the animal farm!!! So glad we didn’t miss it because it too was an AWESOME PLACE!!!

So clean and comfortable!

This is probably the cleanest property I have ever stayed at. Every nook and cranny was clean and to perfection. The MCM vibe was awesome and the place is much nicer than the pictures appear. So many nice little treats for my family to enjoy. And also little games for my small ones to play with. We loved the back porch and although we didn't see deer we sure liked looking for them. My loud family would probably never find deer! Thank you for your beautiful Hospitality in the country we can't wait to come back!
