I had booked this stay as a birthday gift for my mother-in-law. From the moment my family arrived, they were enchanted by the serene setting and the home's cozy, inviting atmosphere. The house itself is nestled in a picturesque forested landscape that offers a sense of peace that is hard to find. It was the perfect setting for my family to unwind and reconnect with the natural world. Our host, Clare went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable. The home was impeccably clean and equipped with everything my family needed for a pleasant stay including bird feeders placed in the windows which offered some wonderful bird-watching opportunities. One of the highlights, of course, was the sighting of a beautiful black bear family. While safely inside a car, my family watched in awe as a mother bear and her cubs went about their day.
Pro Tip: If you love comic books, movie posters, and fantasy art, check out the Frank Frazetta Museum which is nearby. Frazetta is known for being the master of modern fantasy and his work has been key to some of the most epic films, book covers and so much more over the decades. It is run by his family to this day and it was such a gem to find and experience.
We cannot thank Clare enough for her hospitality and for sharing her slice of oasis with us. Highly recommended!
