We were looking for a place to recover from a particularly hectic summer, and this house was perfect! The bed was comfy and warm, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The hosts share a wonderful variety of games, books and music. The outdoor sauna was excellent--an educating fire-building experience topped off with great steam and a brisk outdoor shower. We've come home knowing we must find a way to add a sauna to our house.
We had deer and turkeys in the yard each day, and we added four new varieties of birds to our birding journal and saw hundreds of cardinals, jays, sparrows and chickadees at the feeders on the property. We didn't see another person for three days. The weather wasn't especially cooperative for hiking, but we walked the grounds and spent many hours on the deck watching barges go up the river and studying the brighter stars that were spectacular through light cloud cover.
This was the ideal place to unplug and relax. We've stayed in several excellent Airbnb homes, and they've all offered perks that we have enjoyed. This was the best place we've encountered for a real vacation from everything.
