Jennifer was great to us. She made a wonderful breakfast and was super friendly. It was a very nice place to stay I felt like it was a home away from home.
Kind of like my Grannies house back in the day. I got some much needed rest too. Great job! We'll definitely be back to see you!.
Had a great time staying in the Carriage House with my wife. Very clean home with a modern design. There's plenty of space for a party four but it also works well as an intimate space for two.
I would have loved to spend a few more days there to enjoy the porch, grill, and hot tub. Dealing with the staff was pleasurable experience as they were quick to reply to emails and set expectations ahead of the stay..
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about 1st choice. We stayed at their Chalet property and it had everything we could ever want and then some! My only wish is that we had longer to stay and that we could have stayed when it was warmer out to enjoy all the outdoor amenities! The pictures did not do our rental justice as it was more beautiful in person with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy! And the price was much better than smaller rentals I found! Overall very pleased with our experience!!!.
Stayed at Forest Edge this weekend. Nice cabin and very secluded way back off the road but close enough to everything. Easy check in and out.
Surface cleaned very well but could use deep cleaned, like light fixtures, under beds, and dusting up high. Exactly as described and the pics on their website are accurate. Kitchen is minimally stocked with pots and pans but we ate out so no big deal.
Don't expect to cook a gourmet meal but the necessities are there. Overall great experience and will stay here again..
