The home itself is wonderful, very clean and cozy. The standout feature really is the property. Wood trails, benches and swings, pretty ponds! It is spacious and the foliage is eclectic! I noticed some very fun forts that my kids would love to use in the yard. ##### Taylor N. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David K. Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Family Vacation Plenty of fun opportunities to explore, observe wildlife, and bird watch. The home is nicely designed and welcoming. We loved sitting on the porch and feeling the evening breeze. Nice clean and usable kitchen!!!On the downside, the rest of the house needs a good cleaning. The bottoms of the sliding doors need scrubbing and cleaning. I suggest the beds and other furniture be pulled away from the walls when the floors are cleaned. ##### David K.
