"This is a perfect-off the beaten path getaway. It is close enough to the city to enjoy its conveniences but just far enough away to feel you’ve escaped. The house was eclectic and comfortable. We loved opening the doors and listening to the birds. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend."

"This place is a gem! As we entered the neighborhood to the home, we were greeted by several deer. I wanted to play with them; they were so cute! Marlen met us at the property and showed us around, ensuring we were comfortable and addressing any questions or concerns we had. Everything was clean and made you feel at home. I loved waking up in the morning and hearing the birds sing, as well as getting visits from the deer. I highly recommend staying here, and I look forward to my next visit. "
