Summary: Beautiful home with huge gathering space for our big group. Very clean, beautiful scenery. Plenty of bedding and very comfortable. The owner was very responsive and kind. Grounds were kept nice. Beautiful rocking chairs on the screened in porch. Great fire pit area with plenty of comfy chairs and wood. Loved that they provided shampoo, soap, etc. A nice touch was the face mask and ear plugs for all. Also having plenty of kitchen needs and even salt and pepper. Very close to town, kayaking, hiking.
