Summary: Loved, loved, loved this place! Also, the owners were so communicative and didn’t blink an eye when I asked if I might be able to add two people (they didn't end up coming but the owners were so open and generous with my request). This place is perfect, peaceful and a wonderful getaway! I wish I could give it ten stars!

Summary: Very beautiful place, and very peaceful. The Host's are the most thoughtful folks that we have ever stayed with. We stayed to get away, and celebrate our anniversary. They left an anniversary card at the front door! You can just feel the love and kindness in their home. We will without a doubt be repeat customers.

Summary: Our family enjoyed our time at the Grotto. We loved spending the evenings on the back deck eating dinner and making s’mores. The house had everything we needed with plenty of clean towels, blankets, paper towels, toilet paper, spacious laundry room, a stocked kitchen etc. The kids enjoyed exploring the yard and didn’t want to leave. I would definitely recommend!

Summary: Very cute house and really nice location. The property was beautiful and the surrounding cities and parks had lots of fun stuff to do. Everything was very clean and orderly when we arrived, the only problem I had was that the hair trap had been forgotten and the shower flooded out into the hall and into a neighboring bedroom in the few minutes it took for anyone to notice a problem. But Brian and Colleen were very helpful and had quick responses via text with offers of sending their cleaners out asap. Favorites from our stay include the record player in the game room, the lovely deck area, and the raccoon and bunny friends we saw hanging out together in the front yard on our last day.

Summary: The Grotto was perfect for our family, fur babies included! The kids toys were such a great added bonus, and everything was clean and easily accessible! The welcome book inside was so detailed and answered every question we could have had, and the labels and notes throughout the house were so thorough. Beds were comfy, and the back porch view was the perfect place for coffee in the mornings! The privacy made every bit of our stay peaceful and the grounds were wonderful to explore. We will definitely book here again for our next trip to Mt Ida!
