Property is clean and located close to many things to do in the area. We spent a day at the waterpark in Grand Bear Resort, went to Cedar Creek Ranch for a horse ride, and did a hike at Matthiessen State Park. Will definitely come back again.

Beautiful House
Very comfortable in an amazing area. Very close to multiple Parks and trails. The tub was a great way to relax and the bed very comfortable. Martin is the best host that I've had a pleasure of dealing with and I travel a lot if that tells you anything. He's very accessible and seems to truly care that you have a perfect stay. I can't wait to bring the rest of the family!
