We had an amazing New Year’s getaway and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed (including all the children amenities). It was the perfect space to unwind and ring in the New Year. Our host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making check-in and the entire stay seamless. You can truly tell how much care they put into hosting. We made such special memories here and would absolutely recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a cozy, stress-free getaway. We’d love to return again in the future!

10/10. This was one of the best homes we've ever stayed in on Airbnb. Carrie was the perfect host. The pictures on the don't do the home any justice. So beautiful, so modern, so much like home. Perfect stay. Will we be back in the warmer months ahead. Thanks so much

Everything was great about Carrie’s listing and the great attention to detail she provided throughout the stay. We requested a Christmas Tree for the holidays and she within a few hours had it up for us before we arrived. Will rent from again in the future and would trust all of her properties site unseen based on the 1 experience with her.

This home was so beautiful and comfortable. I have stayed in numerous Airbnb properties, and I must say, this home is better stocked than all others. The decor is stunning, and our hosts were responsive and detail-oriented. I will absolutely book this home again.

What an outstanding getaway in the woods! Between the views, sauna, privacy and toys for our kids, it was everything we were looking for. We can’t wait to come back!
