The Hen House Retreat - A Comfortable Place to Roost

10/10 Excellent
"The four of us really enjoyed the hen house. We didn’t get an opportunity to use the fire pit outside, but it looked so inviting. We loved the chicken and rooster decorations- some of them really make us laugh! We even saw the neighbors’ chickens wandering in the area! I loved perusing through several quilting magazines. The house had so many thoughtful additions, such as boxes of tissues, ear plugs, night stands, and chocolates near the bed. The only addition I could think of was possibly a little mirror in the bedrooms so us women could do our hair and makeup while the bathroom is in use. Note the 3 bedrooms are upstairs, which was fine for us “young seniors”. The kitchen had everything we needed, even a toaster, which I haven’t found in our last 2 rentals."

"Clearly a loved, inviting log cabin in the woods. Private and quiet, yet close to any fun adventures you plan. We biked. And ate. And relaxed. The bike trail was the best we’ve ever been on. And after a full day “out on the road” we came back to a comfortable, rustic home base. Swinging on the porch, with glass in hand, we listened to the frogs croaking, watched the fireflies dance in the trees, and recalled the highlights of our day. Perfect summer weekend!"
