Check in was so easy, and was appreciated after a long day driving. We felt nice and secluded on the back deck with views of the woods, birds, and deer! The kitchen had everything we needed, the bedroom was very comfortable, and the shower is a real highlight! We will be back!

So great!!

The property is beautiful, we spent most of our week on the back deck watching the deer. Bed is SOOO comfortable, everything put together with thought and intention. Hosts Tom and Amy were on top of everything, communication response, less than 30 min. We can’t wait to come back in the fall to see the foliage. Thanks so much!

Cute but description is not accurate

The listing says there are two bedrooms, but there is only 1 and it is separated from the living room by a movable divider so it's essentially one big room. It also lists a double sofa bed in the bedroom and a double sofa bed in the living room, neither of which were there. There was a couch in the living room but it did not fold out to be a bed, which was disappointing since I was stuck with the blow up mattress. This was listed as full size but was the size of a single bed. I am 6'1'' and my feet hung off the end by about 6 inches. It also said that it had a headboard which it does not. The bathroom and kitchen are nice and as listed and the deck was very nice with a solo stove and soft sided hot tub big enough for 2 people. It was very restful spending time on the deck. This would be a great place for a couple who slept in the same bed and with up to two small kids. One of the pictures shows a sofa that has been replaced by a recliner. We enjoyed our stay except for the sleeping accommodations.

Weekend getaway

Tom did it right with this rental. The quiet blew us away, exactly what we wanted. Excellent deck to hang out and enjoy nature and a hot tub to soak if you need to relax after hiking or a long day. Comfortable bed to rest and plenty of amenities to get you through your stay. If you enjoy wildlife and need some extra peace and quiet in your life, stay here. Great price and great host, thank you.
