Summary: We had a great time at this house. It was very spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. I was impressed by how well-equipped the kitchen was. We did a lot of cooking, and it had everything we needed. Even tupperware for leftovers, which I almost never see at rental houses. The location was very quiet and peaceful, and the views from the deck and the glass sliding door surrounding the livingroom on three sides were gorgeous. We saw deer, turkeys, hawks, and rabbits, in addition to all of the songbirds right from the yard. Be prepared for a steep drive up hill, though.
