Peaceful location, private, quiet, and even lots of deer. Just what my family needed for a weekend to unplug. Host was very responsive and helped with any questions we had. Would recommend and would stay again.

We have come here twice and both times we end up extending our stay! We love the serenity of the place. For some reason it just speaks to us. Clean and well kept. Everything we need is there. This will always be one of our favorites!

Upon arrival we had a minor issue with the bedding that was on the bed, but Brandon was quick to respond and got his it taken care of quickly. The home was cute and looked just as described. We loved the location and proximity to nearby towns. It was peaceful and relaxing. Great place to see some wildlife and get some R & R.

We absolutely loved our stay! Such a cozy place! We loved the location, not having to be right in town and being able to be in nature but not far from Boone was just perfect! We loved it so much we extended our stay two days! We will definitely come again, very soon! Great communication with the host as well.
