Weekend at The Hideout

We loved our cute little cottage in the woods. It was perfect for us and our family staying with us. The host even included baby items for my 1 year old nephew. The house had plenty of room for the 5 adults and 4 kids and we enjoyed grilling and just enjoying family time together.

Host was wonderful! From the booking process to check out- it was a breeze! They answer so quickly, are happy to help and the communication was super easy and quick. Everything looks like the photos the sheets, beds and bathrooms were very clean. They leave you bathroom amenities, provide starter paper towels, sponge dish soap etc and toilet tissue. The cleaning people left a lovely snores basket that was such a nice touch and sweet surprise! We will definitely be booking again. Also- For a pet friendly home it didn’t smell and there were no signs of fur. In fact I have allergies to pets that shed and I was fine the whole stay! My dogs were very comfortable too! Thanks for a memorable stay and for your wonderful hospitality!

Great Stay

The home was absolutely gorgeous… Couple of things that should have been taken care of like the grill being dirty and lots of dead insects in the home. Overall this was a great stay I will definitely be coming back!!
