    I liked the fact that I didn't have to share walls like a hotel. I was very comfortable and cozy. Seriously one of the best places I've stayed in a very long time. The cabin feel made me glad I spent the money to be there. I also really loved not...

    Pat & John were great to work with. Our house was just as described. Location was amazing and directions to the house were spot on! The house fit our group perfectly! The deck was where we spent a lot of time!
