Sisters weekend a hit thanks to Kimball House
The Kimball house has everything that is needed for a memorable get-away. We booked the house because of the accessibility with the ramp and first floor bedroom/bathroom. The small touches are what truly won us over. The house is very well taken care of with perfectly thought of upgrades and amenities. The first day was rainy but that was okay as the house has it all. We hung out in the basement, played darts, pac-man, and poker in the game room and bar area. The next day was beautiful so took advantage of the beautiful outdoor space. The owner had paddleboards and kayaks ready to use, along with the firepit prepped with wood for evening relaxation. There were so many thoughtful "extras" from the reading glasses and extra chargers (which both came in handy) to the bottled water for those who may not like well water. The cabinets in kitchen are all labeled, and the large supply of spices came in handy for one of our meals. The owner has thought of it all! Thank you for making our stay enjoyable and being available (via text) to ensure we had a great experience.

Best Family Reunion Yet!
My husband and I rented this cabin for a family reunion and bonfire and we had a fantastic time. Everything was clean, easy to access, lots of parking, and absolutely beautiful. Michael has provided EVERYTHING you could need or think of. There were even bath bombs by the jacuzzi tub! Making supper was so easy, the kitchen has all the equipment and utensils literally all I had to do was bring the food. There's even complimentary coffee! The backyard was a real treat with plenty of space around the bonfire and outdoor games. Nothing ever felt cramped. Something my back really appreciated is corner weren't cut with the quality of the mattress either, normally I get stiff when we travel but this bed was perfect. 10/10 my husband and I are already looking to book again sometime this winter.
