So relaxing!
The only sounds were the crickets and frogs. Peaceful and relaxing yet quite close to all sorts of things to do. Numerous places for games, puzzles, or crafts. We highly recommend Essenhaus for a traditional dinner meal.

Quiet retreat
Nice quiet property in the woods. Secluded, but close to anything you need. Had a couple fires, grilled a couple times, and enjoyed the first floor and lower level areas to hang out. Would recommend.

Great quiet place
First time using vrbo so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I couldn't have selected a better place. Clean quiet place with plenty of space in a woodsy setting. This is exactly what I was looking for. I would stay here again!

Short stay
We needed a place to stay while we had service work done on our RV. House was very comfortable, away from other houses, nice pond and wooded area, close to restaurants, and the yard was the perfect size for our dog (away from the road and neighbors). Owners were great at responding very quickly to any inquiries, both prior to and during our stay.

Beautiful home hidden away from the city
The house is sooo nice! It’s very spacious and clean. The check in process was seamless and I immediately felt comfortable in the house. If you’re looking for a place that’s in a country setting but close to all the city amenities, this house is perfect!
