"The best airbnb home we have used for vacation so far. Hosts were super responsive, and the house was great and super clean. Plenty to do in the area including hiking and mountain biking and some beautiful waterfalls not too far from the house. I highly recommend this home for your vacation."
Estero, Florida
"This place was EVERYTHING! Cleanliness is important to us and this home was spotless. It’s fully stocked with everything you need! Very spacious with plenty of room for the group of 10 we had. Everything was functional and we really enjoyed ourselves. We stayed in the cabin the whole trip!! The location was great as we was within 10-15 minutes from the stores and other attractions should we want to explore. Elisabeth was very responsive with the few questions we had. We would definitely book again."

"I cannot speak highly enough of this AirBnb home. From beginning to end, it was impeccable. Top of the line craftsmanship and products. Sparkling clean and well-organized. Elisabeth was lovely and immediately responsive to any question I had. My large family gathering for Thanksgiving was all the more special staying in this home. I will continue to rent this home with family and friends."

"If you are wanting a peaceful time, this is the place to stay. We came to get away from the hurricane damage and loved sitting on the deck, overlooking the water and seeing the colorful trees. A very peaceful time for all of us. The house was very clean and with five couples, each with their own bathrooms, it was perfect for us. The town on Blue Ridge is very charming with many restaurants and shops. We didn't get our train reservations soon enough though. We all totally enjoyed our 4 day stay."
