You may see wild animals on the property during your stay. In the early morning and late afternoon, deer will stroll over from the national park to graze on our grass.

Summary: My elderly father, my brother and his wife and I stayed in this lovely house for a weekend wedding of our cousin. The property was as described, and my father who uses a rollator to walk was able to have a very accessible experience with a ground floor, en suite bedroom. Amy was very responsive and thorough, and the three mini-splits kept us very comfy. The two downstairs queen beds are exceedingly comfortable (I slept really well), and the upstairs queen beds are definitely great for kids or folks with sturdy skeletons, and adequate for folks with any aches/pains (both my brother and his wife woke up slightly sore from the night but they were overall happy with the house as well).

Summary: Great location close to everything. Easy in and out. All amenities were available. We loved the record collection. WiFi was a little hit or miss but it doesn’t change my rating. Fantastic place and highly recommend!

Summary: The property is very nice & quiet. It has 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. The only problem we had was that both bathrooms are off of a bedroom. So the third bedroom can only access a bathroom by going into another bedroom. But the upstairs bedroom has two full/queen beds so we just doubled up two of us in one bedroom so we would all have access, especially in the night to a bathroom. I would recommend this place readily.
