Friendly dogs. Home was very well stocked. Even had coffee and sugar waiting for us! Pool looked beautiful but, unfortunately, we had a very cold rainy week and couldn't enjoy it. Beds were comfortable and check in/out was simple. One note- our GPS did not recognize address as Harding. But put in Exeter Twp and it came right up! Very quiet, beautiful setting in the mountains. Would strongly recommend for a quiet stay. ##### Beth H. Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Armelle H.

The apartment is comfortable and clean and communication with the host was quick on the response. Two of us wanted to swim, but we didn’t arrive until around 8 PM but after checking in with the host, they allowed us to swim and had the lights on for us. We will likely be back if we need accommodations again in that area. ##### June K. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen M.

Be aware there really isn’t a yard to hang out in. The house is just next to the owners house, so not much privacy unless you are inside. That said, the hosts were wonderful and not intrusive at all!! They were so gracious and very welcoming. ##### Jen M. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Billy F.

We chose this place as an alternate for our family to visit our daughter at a nearby college, rather than a hotel, and it did not disappoint! Nice little place - well appointed, clean, and definitely quant and quiet. We had a great time in our short stay, hanging out together and sleeping comfortably. Would definitely come back. We didn't require much communication with the owner because everything was straightforward and clear. In the little interaction we did have, they seem like very nice, hospitable people, offering a very nice lodging option on their beautiful property. ##### Billy F.

Martine was such a gracious host, and had the pool ready for us when we arrived. The kids and i took a quick dip, then headed back to the house for dinner and an evening of relaxation. The next morning, we took our time having breakfast with the windows open so we could hear the birds. I love the late checkout time (11 am) because it gave us a chance to take it slow. Thanks, Martine and family, for a wonderful stay. ##### Michael M. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M F.

Check in was clear and easy, house rules very fair and clear. Country setting in the mountains with clean crisp air. Not a far drive from restaurants and stores- about 20 minutes away . We were there for a graduation and enjoyed the convenience of a home away from home. Hostess is warm and friendly and attentive. Didn't get to swim but walked the long driveway and got great exercise. It is almost a mile long! Will return if coming to the area.aaway. ##### M F.

Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location The house was clean and nicely decorated and had plenty of comfy seating in the living room. I met the owner when I arrived and she was very nice.I have only two minor complaints: They do state that the property is on a "working farm," but I was surprised to find that my bedroom window was about 30 ft away from a chicken coupe--complete with a resident rooster. So at exactly 4:39 am we were woken by his serenades. And pretty much remained awake for the rest of the morning. I had actually been hoping to sleep in a little, getting a break from my cats who wake me around 5:30 for sustenance. Nope. Both mornings I was woken \*before\* dawn. Again the rooster is directly outside the bedroom window, just on the other side of the driveway.One other minor suggestion: perhaps clean up the back area where the fire pit is located and add some cushions to the hard, uncomfortable metal chairs--or select different chairs. We were hoping to sit outside in the evening but the back area looked uninviting and uncomfortable, like the chairs and fire pit were just tossed back there as an afterthought. Also the large table out there was dirty and set off to the side. If you're expecting guests, I would think the table would be cleaned. ![Back area with metal chairs and firepit](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b2ce17ee-1b06-436b-a0d9-00f31ce7f160-1753896435205.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Close up of chairs and fire pit.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/12ada66f-a6f7-47ca-b020-3b61450f1435-1753896435081.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) !["Frank," our rooster neighbor and 4:30 am alarm clock.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4688b294-4d86-4750-abd1-de8454083e6b-1753896435252.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Angie L. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Faith H. Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place but make sure to bring paper towels I rented the house for my husband, children and grandson. My sister and her family were in another house on the property. We were in town for a family reunion. Overall, the house was well appointed and comfortable. I loved that family games were available and there was a playground for the kids. Playing at the coffee table in the living room, I noticed some sticky stuff on it. I went to wipe it off and realized there were no paper towels or cloth in the kitchen. I asked the host about paper towels or napkins. She said they did not provide them. We have stayed in a number of rental homes and extended stay rooms. I have never had ti bring my own paper towels. There also were no Kleenex or napkins. We did not have time to go out looking for a place to purchase these items so did without. I would suggest that either the host start providing these items (raise the rate $5 if necessary) or notify renters that paper products are not provided. Would return but will be more appropriately armed next time. ##### Faith H. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan W.
