This place was beautiful inside (soothing lighting and decor, comfy bed, clean) and out (trees, river sounds, a hill of blooming hostas). It was very quiet. There were hawks in a nest visible through a living room skylight, and houseplants or trees every direction we looked.
Staying here was easy—everything we needed had already been thought of by the host. The communication from her was stellar: clear, helpful, and then we were left to unwind, knowing we could contact her any time. All our activities (hiking, kayaking, eateries) were 15-20 min drive away.
We so appreciated that our dog was welcome. The fenced yard had a gate to the deck. Our dog could be on the deck with us when we closed off the other opening with our baby gate. The fenced area was similar to a woodland habitat and with tall stilt grass, and there was an area closer to the house where brush had been cleared where we opted to play.
The stairs up to the house are steep; they are also sturdy, with good hand rails, and they’re well-lit at night.
We feel grateful that we got to stay here. Highly recommend this place and its thoughtful, responsive host.
