Amazing house and host
We love this house we rented it two summers ago as well as this, and have every intention on renting it again next summer. The house is beautiful. The location is perfect and the host is great. There’s also lots of little touches that make it a lot closer to staying in a hotel.

Weekend Friends Trip
My friends and I stayed at this property in July 2023 and had an incredible time. Jessica was in constant contact with us before we checked in through check out. Everything you would need for the kitchen, grill, bathrooms, bedrooms, pool, garbage, etc were fully stocked and easy to find. We had a great time, were able to explore some local wineries and breweries, and definitely would recommend others stay here for their get a ways.

Perfect for a Secluded Getaway
This property is well equipped for your personal gatherings where you would like your privacy. The house can easily accommodate large groups in multiple beds, with spacious inside areas for meals and conversation, as well as a wonderful outdoor area in which you can spend the evenings by a fire pit enjoying the summer air. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to be away from the bustle of a town, but within striking distance to a major metropolitan area.
