The scrubs

I'm not a review person just like a hotel place to rest my head and then left. I had a very short stay.

A little get away

We loved to stay at this home. When trails open up again this will be amazing unfortunately we had to trailer the sxs's to ride legally to the trail that was open. Next time will be amazing tho. Loved the decor on the home. Wish there was more seating in the living area to watch tv as a family and not have to sit on the floor or a hard kitchen chair.

Cute place near outdoor recreation

Cute place and nice size property, dogs loved the large yard and seclusion. There are neighbors you just can't see any of them. You can tell the host really enjoys what they do. Dog friendly not just dog-tolerant.
