Total stocked and cool

Our time at this location was easy as pie! Described to a T and stocked as well. I stopped at the markets for supplies and found when I arrived that spices and condiments were present. Left all that I opened to continue the supply process. So kind and nice. Lots of games, outdoor and indoor. Thanks

Cozy Comfort

This home is very cozy. Hosts supply everything you need to be very comfortable away from home. Plenty of nooks and crannies for everyone in the group to settle into, yet large enough living room for everyone to gather together. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect relaxing getaway

The landscape here is incredibly beautiful. The home is very comfortable and has a lot of things other places don't. Plenty of towels in bathroom and kitchen. Lots of extra throw blankets for cozing in on the couches. Great little stash of spices for cooking and every type of dish and cooking and grilling utensil you could possibly need. Just bring your food and you are all set. I stayed here alone and it may be unnecessarily large for one person, but I loved having all the space to myself. It would be perfect for a family or group. Surprisingly large space with plenty of places to sleep. Great selection of indoor and outdoor games and activities. The main bed was very comfortable. I spent hours just on the upper wrap around porch, drinking tea, reading, and watching the birds. The property is so peaceful. Trough Creek State park is only about a 15 minute drive away and has so many trails and features, you can spend a whole day out there. Then come back to a hot shower and a cozy place to wind down, make a fire and some mores, or settle in for a movie in the reclining couches. Cable tv plus there are apps already installed so you can log in to your streaming services if you want. I cannot recommend this place enough. A friend of mine that lives in the area was so impressed by it, he immediately looked it up and wants to book a weekend for him and his friends. It really is a treasure and I hope to be able to visit again.

The best experience I had

Awesome place to stay. The host generously agreed to postpone our reservation when one of the guest got sick just before our trip. The cabin is fully loaded with what you need and more.

Perfect Family Getaway

This rental has absolutely EVERYTHING! There was not one thing that we did not have. The huge wrap around porch was amazing to drink your coffee on in the morning and watch the nature. The gas grill is hooked up to the gas line so you can just grill away with no worries. We had 8 people in the kitchen at once and never bumped into each other so there is PLENTY of room throughout. There are tons of family games and outside activities to keep you busy. There are 2 full size refrigerators so you do not run out of room when cooking for large families. The lake was closed due to Hurricane Ida so we stayed at eh house and made the best of it. There is plenty of paring as well in case you have larger vehicles. The property owner was so pleasant and fast to respond. We will definitely rent from her again!
