A group of four of us spent a girls weekend at Karen's home and it was beautiful. The house is very comfy and cozy. I wish I could have spent more time enjoying the house and the wrap-around porch. You feel like you're in the mountains by yourself, but only 15 minutes from town and only 5 minutes from a good coffee shop and grocery store. Be prepared for a steep gravel driveway with a AWD or 4WD vehicle. If you want to sleep in bring an eye mask, because there are no blinds or curtains and that sun rises early! I would definitely stay there again. It was the perfect location.
