Quiet, peaceful and comfortable
As the title says, if you're looking for a comfortable house to get away from everything- except nature- this is the place. We enjoyed our stay even though some parks and trails were closed due to the recent hurricane, but we expected that. This house has everything you need. One thing- if the internet quits working, just unplug the router at the wall and plug back in- worked for us twice.

Very clean and nice secluded house. Everything is up to date, communication was great and so was the seamless check-in/check-out process. Worked perfect for both adults and kids and was a central location to drive to all attractions. Would definitely recommend!

Stay #2
This was our second time here. It was a great place for my immediate family to relax while I dealt with some serious family business. The trees surrounding it did wonders for my soul. Clean, stocked with everything we needed, and enough fun activities to entertain us at the cabin. A highlight was beating my son EVERY game of the loop darts!

Fantastic Stay
We stayed here for Thanksgiving, and had an amazing time! The kitchen was well stocked for our big meal, and the kitchen was roomy enough for several cooks. The furniture, sheets, and towels were high quality and comfy, just like being at home! We had a great time playing games downstairs. The hosts were fantastic to communicate with. The area was beautiful and very private.
