Michelle’s place exceeded expectations and photos. Getting in is so easy and it feels like a home away from home. The view from the front and the back are breathtaking, I highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing place to get away.

We had a wonderful stay. Peaceful surroundings, Everything we needed - Michelle anticipated our needs before we knew what we needed. Very good communication - and I was able to meet her at the local Art Festival and she was very pleasant in person. 100% would stay at her properties again.
