This home away from home is just that. From the moment we walked through the door, there was a welcome feeling. Decor is beautiful and it is stocked with everything needed and more. Great communication from the host and seamless check in and out.

Cozy cardinals nest
So cozy! So clean! Barbara thought of everything when decorating and stocking this place. It shows in the extras that She really has her guests in mind. Soft throws, sheets and bedding in each bedroom. Black out curtains in the bedrooms, stocked kitchen that literally left us needing nothing, the deck swing, Bluetooth speakers, filled Brita water in fridge, really I could go on and on
