Reviews From Our Past Guests:

This home was beautiful. Very clean, well appointed, quiet location. My grand babies loved the playroom. The host was super helpful. There was a lovely welcome basket upon arrival. -Catherine

A great choice for a group based on its condition, location, and amenities. The house was new and comfortable, and the location allowed for a secluded stay but was still in close proximity for lake recreation or wine tours. Thanks to the hosts for their professionalism and hospitality! -Cody

All you need and more

We were in town for a wedding. This house and the location had everything we needed. The back porch overlooking the large yard provided peacefulness I didn’t know I needed. The basement had plenty of games for us to enjoy during any down time we had. The bedrooms were spacious and plenty of extra , comfy blankets to keep you warm during the colder nights. I’d stay here again because it would be a place I would purchase as a vacation home. Can’t recommend this house and all it has to offer. The welcome basket was the cherry on top for us. Thank you for allowing our family to make memories in your home.
