Other Details to Note

*Our home is located 2.5 miles from Highway 43 on a dirt road. It can be slippery after a lot of rain but dries up quickly. It is a well-graded road and maintained well. *There are insects in the country—we use a non-toxic pest service which is helpful at keeping the population down! Just know that you might find a dead bug or two during your stay. * We are on city water. We also offer a Berkey water filter (we even use one at our home in Colorado for health reasons) and five bottles of water in the fridge will be waiting for you when you arrive. *You are in full control of your heat and cooling while staying at our home. *Pretty obvious, but don't bathe your dogs in either tub or let them go into the hot tub. Thanks!

House was beautiful! So much to do on the property was surprised with tetherball, basketball and the hot tub that kept us busy in our down time. So many wonderful extras in the kitchen like ziplocs, tons of spices, condiments and even baking things. Really enjoyed our stay as the beds and restrooms were amazing to use. Will book again!

My wife and I took a last minute anniversary trip out, honestly just to get away from our two college-age kids! HA Man am I glad we chse this place. While it does require a short drive on a dirt road, it is 100% worth it! The sunrise view on the last day (the other 2 days were foggy, but even that was amazing because it felit like we were in our own little bubble) was truly remarkable. The house has everything you need to cook and even had lots of extra spices and condiments. And the Hot tub was such a relaxing feature, to just sit in and look at the stars. We will for sure be coming back here, just for a quick weekend escape! Thank you Sheryl for your attention to detail and for making this a great get-away.

Our experience at this Airbnb was incredible! Sheryl communicated proactively and was so kind and helpful throughout our stay. The attention to detail was amazing—everything was thoughtfully stocked, from the kitchen pantry to the restrooms, with anything you could possibly need. Items were neatly organized and labeled, which made everything super convenient. They truly thought of everything, even providing extra chargers! The beds were very comfortable, and the hot tub was a fantastic feature. The entire place was spotless, and the sunrise view was absolutely breathtaking. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and exceptional hospitality!

My family had a wonderful stay! We got there a little later in the evening, right at sunset. We immediately hopped in the hot tub and enjoyed the awesome blue underwater lights in the dark. The house was clean and had all the things we needed as a family of four (plus one on the way)! The water filter provided all the drinking water we needed, and there was plenty of space for all of us. In the morning we enjoyed coffee out back, watching the sun shine through the clouds and the breeze through the field. My kids enjoyed running around the large open back yard. We were so sad to leave, as we were just passing through on our way to the LRAFB. We are already planning our return. Oh, and the communication with our host was amazing! Made the stay even better.

Sheryl went above and beyond to make our stay easy and enjoyable. Absolutely everything we needed and more was found at the house. There were clear instructions for everything, along with labels to easily find and operate EVERYTHING in the house. Our favorite part was the night sky views and the hot tub. This was by far the best Airbnb I have ever booked.

Wonderful escape! Had all creature comforts of home. Beds were comfy, good linens and kitchen was well stocked. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Brought our food for the week and didn’t need anything else. Hosts were fantastic and our dog was in heaven.

If you’re looking for a peaceful place to decompress, Sheryl’s place is where you need to visit. Our family of 4 spent so much time in the hot tub relaxing and we did a lot of cooking. The guys did trail their motorcycles up there to ride the dirt roads. We frequent that area a lot for outdoor activities. The place was very organized. Every shelf and cabinet was labeled so there’s no confusion on where to find things. Sheryl was very proactive on her messages and even checked up on us to make sure we checked in ok. Since we arrived in the dark, the directions provided my Sheryl was very helpful. The hot tub is one of the best we ever used at an Airbnb. The extra towels and access to cleaning supplies were helpful to keep the place clean. We are looking forward to our return visit.

You definitely need a vehicle to get to this home. There is plenty of parking in front of the garage and even on the grass. If the weather has been rainy (or snowy), you may wish you had all-wheel or four wheel drive, but most of the time it's easy to get to our home without it.
