This place hits all the right points, a pond fed with fresh spring water, a bubbling brook, a vegetable/flower garden, and peaceful quiet; all with a gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains! Pictures can’t capture the immense charm and beautiful location of this house. The house is beautifully decorated and comes with everything you need including that special touch of country charm.
The space was perfect for our family of two couples and two young girls (10 and 5). Each couple had their own bedroom and the girls shared the third. There were comfortable mattresses, lovely linens, and everyone loved the special soap.
The house was large enough for the little ladies to run around, play, or watch TV in the separate “TV room”. All while the adults could sit in the living room surrounded by an eclectic collection of books. But with such a gorgeous location you’ll spend most of your time outside.
The wrap around porch is where you want to spend all your time! One person was on the side porch reading, another on the other side sitting on the bench facing the garden and the girls playing on the backside facing the beautiful pond, all with a beautiful view of the land. The little ladies loved the daily visits from the deer named “Luna” who snacks on the blackberries surrounding the pond and the apples from the trees around the garden. We must also mention the hummingbirds and butterflies flittering around the deck.
The pond was a great place to cool off when coming back from hikes or walks that can be accessed right from the property (I recommend bringing floats for added fun), especially since we were there during some unusually hot weather. The pond is just steps away from the house and you can hear the bull frogs singing at night. We never felt the need to leave the property for any other activities except for grocery shopping.
For those of us who love to cook the kitchen was stocked with top quality cooking equipment. We had everything we needed to take advantage of the outstanding foods that we picked up from the farmer’s market. Being from the city we quickly realized that running to the store on the corner when you needed something was not an option, though the 20 minute drive to the closest supermarket was a beautiful trip with horses, cows and more stunning views.
Overall, we all had a fantastic time and are looking forward to coming back. We give this place our highest recommendation.
