Beautiful home in the woods. Accommodated our family perfectly for an overnight due to a family wedding. Private bedroom settings for at least three separate groups. Very, very nice.

The host was very responsive to our questions and the property fits our needs for a group of coaches who attend tournaments at the Nook. Even with a large snow storm - they had the area plowed quickly so that our coaches could get to their destinations on time. Will plan to stay again.

We stayed here for a local ladies weekend. Although not too far from where we live we felt transported to a quiet woodland retreat! We thoroughly enjoyed Everything about the property! The beds and pillows were super comfy and also enjoyed sitting on the deck in the coolest modern Adirondack chairs. We loved watching the birds and deer enjoying the property as well. Communication was A. Would definitely recommend!!
