Beautiful & very clean home in great location. Layout worked well with enough bedrooms/bathrooms for our girlfriend get together. Three car garage was nice to be able to access & use.

We really enjoyed our stay for our girls weekend. The beds were comfy, the house was very clean and well-maintained, and the kitchen had everything we needed. There is a fair amount of road noise. We took advantage of the Middlebrook Farm activities and enjoyed great local food and music. We requested an early check-in a few times and never got a definitive answer, but otherwise communication was timely and clear on the check-in process and check-out expectations. Would definitely recommend!

Engagement

This is a beautiful house with a nice open floor plan, modern and in a new small town neighborhood. It was a surprise getaway for my daughter’s engagement. Wanted something open so family could stop by and gratulate the newly engaged couple. They felt like it was their new home and wished was.
