Country Charm Apartment

WhitneyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We absolutely loved staying here!! Very clean and quiet, peaceful and beautiful!! Everything we needed was at the place and everything was super cute and very clean. I really appreciated Tammy’s little binder of instructions and recommendations for places to go and enjoyed the coffee bar. They really thought of everything!! Pictures looked like the stairs were outside, but I was pleasantly surprised to see they are indoors. I will say for future guests, GPS (we use the Waze app) lead us to a completely different private address. We passed the street the place was on so I easily knew where to go, just don’t trust GPS! Street sign is very visible thankfully and be prepared for gravel roads and a fun backwoods experience with gorgeous scenery. We loved it, so breathtaking, secluded and just what we needed! Would definitely stay here again!

Lake Living

KellyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay to celebrate our son’s Gotcha Day. Having the lake in your backyard was both relaxing and fun. The canoe was used every day. The house had so many little “treasures” to look at. And no matter where you looked, there were signs telling you to relax. We really enjoyed everything. We have stayed at many properties over the years and Bell is one of the best hosts we have had. We plan on coming back.
