“Graham & Krista's house was exactly what we were expecting and looking for. Private while still having plenty of activities close by. Very clean and very cozy house! Would definitely recommend!” -Sarah
"Visited with my family to celebrate my Dad's birthday, and it was a perfect spot for a reunion. The kitchen was beautifully equipped, we really enjoyed cooking meals together. We played board games at the dinner table and spent time on the back porch reading by the fire. I love how it's decorated; a perfect retro vibe. The hosts were friendly and helpful; great, clear instructions for check-in and check-out. We are looking forward to staying here again!" -Ebbie
