Place was nice. Beds and couches were very comfortable. The guys liked the manly cabin feel.We relaxed outside and enjoyed watching the birds and the sunshine. There was bad weather and tornado watches/warnings during our stay; the owners let us know where storm shelters were and which news channel to follow. Thank you for worrying about our wellbeing!

Christopher is a small town, well off the beaten path, yet close enough to larger cities. Cute cabin. Comfy beds. Good shower and fluffy towels. Very clean. Chairs on each porch for morning coffee and chatting. Had no issues so no need to contact the host while there. Would happily stay there again.

Work stay

Very clean, very quiet neighborhood. Was nice to come to after a days work. Beats staying in a motel be far. Feels more like being home. Thank you for having this available. Porch was great and enjoyable.
