What's nearby

  • With hiking trails circling a lake, visiting Sapsucker Woods is a quiet reprieve where you can observe chipmunks skittering about and the various bird species of the area plus those who are migrating through. In late September/early October it’s a leafers dream with beautiful foliage the closer to the lake you get. #hiking #birdwatching #foliage

This place is gorgeous, clean and it has everything a family needs for a weekend getaway, including board games and books. The kitchen had a keurig coffee machine, snacks, utensils and appliances to cook proper meals. The room had its own thermostat and blankets for winter. I would only suggest to offfer paper cups for the coffee for those who need to leave early morning. The lock instructions were clear too.

The owner set up a bed for our daughter after I made the mistake of booking a single queen room. It was perfect for our family of 3! Great location, cozy, and welcoming, and we really appreciated having the stocked kitchen for breakfast.
