Summary: Everything was as described on VRBO, Sam& Mike were great host. The property is beautiful,peaceful, and a quiet area close to Dillard , Highlands and many small towns for browsing. Their home was very well equipped ( along with fresh baked muffins) on our arrival. Would definitely recommend anyone to visit and we hope to return in the fall.

Summary: This is by far the best VRBO experience we have had. Mike and Sam make you feel like you are at home when you stay at their guest house. The wine and homemade muffins were so good and thoughtful. I cannot say enough about the entire property. We will definitely be back soon!
Lauren R. Jul 7, 2025 11:10:30 PM
Summary: Cutest little cabin - super clean and well appointed. Owners are so super nice and made us feel welcome, even left us a tasty treat at check in!Would have loved a full length mirror and taller hook to hang a long dress from, but those missing things definitely did not take away from the house or our stay. Just personal needs is all. Would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone.
Lucas M. Jun 28, 2025 05:14:00 AM
Summary: We have stayed twice and for this visit the owners welcomed us back with flowers and a bottle of wine. The house is curated just as thoughtfully with all the small touches that make your stay perfect. We love the peacefulness of the property and the kindness of the owners.

Summary: Yes indeed "private, quiet, peaceful"! Beyond spotless clean and the grounds well manicured, several peaceful seating areas. Easy 2 lane road [dead end past house] approach. Sam and Mike were attentive hosts with a service mindset. well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms, interesting antique furniture. isolated but close enough to Franklin-kayaking, breweries, river greenway walk. Expansive grass and trees grounds for a dog and renters to wander. We'll be back!
