My wife and I are in love with your place. It is probably our favorite of all the places we have stayed at. The details, the cleanliness, location, privacy...I can go on and on. We plan on returning.!!! We had plans for going out and about during the weekend, we ended up staying in due to how perfect it was. Thank you.

I absolutely love love love this home. My partner and I wanted a relaxing vacation for my birthday and that’s exactly what we received. 😊 Seeing the deers while drinking your am coffee was a highlight! The home was beautiful, clean and the host also gave us a loaf of pecan bread which was outstandingly delicious. We will definitely visit again and recommend this home if you’re looking for a peaceful beautiful getaway. 😊

This private cottage in its serene setting was exactly what we needed for a long weekend to relax and recharge. The space is so clean and comfortable; has all the necessities; is secluded, yet easy to navigate to and a short drive to so many wonderful places; and you can’t beat the private deck and hot tub!The listing is managed by a company, but you’ll be put in touch with hosts who live down the road - and they were very welcoming, friendly, and responsive to all our questions.My husband and I absolutely loved our time here! We’ve stayed at many places in/around this area over the past decade, and this is now our favorite. We are already looking at dates to return later this year!

The house was in a gorgeous location with beautiful natural views in every direction. Everything was immaculate, top of the line, and beautifully arranged. They had everything we needed and more. Paz and Amit were very friendly and even gave us some of their fresh veggies from the garden. They were immediately responsive whenever we had any questions, but made sure we had our privacy. Star gazing at night in the hot tub was magical. We saw shooting stars and could see the Milky Way. Each day we took a walk in their gorgeous property, which had nice trails with sparkling mica, babbling creeks, and a pond. We saw a deer and a fawn and tons of butterflies and birds on the property. We weren't sure how much there was to do in the area, but there was lots of local trails to explore and a place nearby tubing place. The drive was beautiful no matter which destination we chose to go. It was a perfect romantic getaway!Definitely recommend staying here 😇

First and foremost, the hosts are absolutely wonderful and so very kind. They were very responsive and thoughtful. Upon arrival, we noticed a home made maple pecan loaf and it was AMAZING!! Such an awesome added touch to our first impression. Secondly, the home was very tidy and clean. The home, inside and out, is very well cared for and among the top rated regarding cleanliness of all the AirBnbs we have visited. Last, but far from the least, they are very proactive in communication and are more than accommodating. I rented this AirBnb for my husband and I to have a weekend to ourselves, and we were unable to get there until late on the evening of check in as it was a surprise for him. They allowed us to stay until we were ready to leave on the day of check out without us even having to ask. They were just very understanding and empathizing people. We cannot wait to visit again. I 10/10 recommend visiting this AirBnb.

My husband and I had the perfect Valentine’s getaway here! It was pristine and beautifully decorated. The hot tub worked great and we enjoyed having the pool table to use as well. Overall, just a very luxurious, relaxing vibe. Plus, the hosts left a delicious maple pecan loaf for us! We totally recommend.

This place was the CLEANEST Airbnb we have ever been in. The host obviously take pride in the home and make sure you have the best experience you can. It was just impeccable. We had fun relaxing in the hot tub, playing pool and just enjoying the scenery. Paz (host) even shared their vegetables with us! So private and quiet in this area. Beautiful. Best vacation home yet!

This cottage is absolutely amazing. It matches the description perfectly, is extremely clean and everything is a great quality.
I’d recommend arriving during the day as the roads are windy coming in, but we didn’t have any issues finding the place. We used Waze and Apple Maps for GPS and got there just fine.
We loved staying here and would definitely stay again!

My wife and I are always planning vacations and getaways and have stayed at many air bnbs this one was our favorite so far. We drove from Massachusetts to reside here while hiking and sight seeing for a week and their place was the best and ideal place to reside and relax in after a long day and my goodness what a beautiful home

Very beautiful space, host was great, very personal (loved the note left on the fridge!) 10/10 recommend!

Jenna

This home is in the top 5 of rentals I’ve stayed in. They have thought of everything. It’s very quiet and private. High end finishes, so much attention to detail. We were very impressed. The shower is heaven! The bed is very comfortable and the chocolate brioche was divine. Would highly recommend for a short or long stay. So close to tubing at Loafers Glory which a great way to spend a summer day. Can’t wait to stay again!
