Just what we needed…

This property is a beautiful true forest retreat, in a lovely neighborhood yet off the beaten path, at the end of the road and still close to everything you want to get to.We came for a summer getaway to visit favorite local swimming spots and this was the perfect place for peaceful seclusion at the end of the day.The home is very well cared for, thoughtfully appointed and the beds are SOOO comfortable.The owner Diana, is kind, friendly, and communicative and made me feel like family. Thank you Diana for sharing your special home with us!
