Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests: “We had a wonderful stay with our extended family! Jen was very responsive and helpful. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed including things to keep our kiddos busy. We would book again in the future!” –Kasia “Jennifer is a host of epic proportion. 20 of us assembled from all over the country for Thanksgiving break, and she could not have gone more above and beyond. They not only set up and decorated our entire huge Thanksgiving table before we arrived, but she had her husband created and stained the table for us before our arrival! A neighbor came by and left us chocolate covered strawberries as a house warming gift. She responded to every need we had within minutes. My car needed a jump as we were leaving and she got a neighbor to come by to help us. She is the host from which all other hosts should be compared. Highest rating possible. Our family had a remarkable experience and Jennifer played a large part in it.” –David “A great place to stay! Jennifer is an accommodating host, everything is as described on the listing. The interior is beautiful, the yard a peaceful place to hang out. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. I absolutely loved using the grill and the hot tub. It's a short drive to Presque Isle, which is a wonderful place to spend some time.” –Rebecca ★★ BEDROOMS ★★ A total of five Pinterest-worthy bedrooms provide your whole family with plenty of space to spread out and relax.

Other things to note We are on a busy road, while the property itself is laid out to not be negatively affected by the traffic. The turn into the drive is on a hill with a blind spot, just be careful pulling in or out. I book on a first-come basis. The furnishings in the property are constantly evolving (thank you Pinterest) so it may be slightly different from our listing pictures. We have a no party/events policy. This means that no guests are allowed on the property unless they are included on the reservation. This prevents our property from being damaged or used as a party house, and having police called. We pride ourselves in creating a beautiful environment and we want it to stay amazing for the next guests. Feel free to message us if you have any questions about this.
