Here are a few kind words from our past guests: "I have stayed in many Airbnbs in many states and this one has been the absolute best. It’s better than a five star hotel. Great host great place and I wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s a shame that you can only give five stars." - Eliud "So much space for all of us, large bedrooms, a well appointed Kitchen... We really appreciated all of the dishes, kids dishes, pots/pans, and kitchen supplies. It made cooking over the holidays as easy as if we were at home." - Adam "...a peaceful wood-like setting even though it was in a neighborhood. We even saw deer right outside our window! We enjoyed the trail in Dune Park. Plenty of restaurants and grocery options just 6 minutes away.
