This property was absolutely amazing! I would absolutely stay here again. More than enough space for my family and my handicapped Mother was able to get in and out wonderfully! We really wanted something one level so she would be able to visit and this was perfect! Even handicap railings in the master bathroom. Inside and out the home is beautiful. Can't wait to plan our next trip!

Wonderful home! It was so clean, everything was thoughtfully labeled and we had all we needed to make our stay comfortable. Loved the selection of games, the png pong table had a lot of use, the outdoor space was beautiful. The location was ideal, close to everything but while at the home we felt miles away from the busy world. Thank you for letting us share your beautiful and thoroughly clean house.

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting!

What a beautiful home - inside and out! It was perfect for our family. The kitchen, dining, and family room area was a perfect gathering space for the family while the living room, screenporch, and outdoor areas gave us room to spread out. The beds and bedding were comfy and the entire property was exceptionally clean. We highly recommend this property. We would give it 8 out of 5 stars. :)

Great private property. You are in the woods and a mile from Ely. Everything in the house is labeled so no guessing on lights, cabinets, or rules. Extremely clean and well organized. It is very spacious and furniture and beds are comfortable. Great VRBO experience.

Wonderful property & thoughtful host

Property was clean, nice with added extras like basic spices and oil (which we had forgotten) in the kitchen, shampoo & conditioner bottles in case we needed them and easy to use door locks & electronics. The layout was really nice for 7 of us (and 1 dog) to be together or spread out as needed. Wonderful place to stay!
