"Perfect location- close to hiking, pizza, and ice cream but privatly nestled into the woods. The house was very comfortable and the spiral staircase was so charming. The hot tub was, by far, the nicest and best of any place I have rented. We are already talking about coming back to this area and will 100% see if this house is available when we do. The host was fantastic- we had 1 very minor glitch with the porch light and she responded immediately and got it working."
