A Few Kind Words from Our Past Guests:
“Hands down THE BEST rental we’ve ever stayed at. All the comforts of home. The home was peaceful and warm. Bed and linens were comfortable! Peter had thoughtful touches throughout, like umbrellas, and conversation cards and a basket of blankets to snuggle on the couch. A fully stocked kitchen! I packed my crockpot but the home had one! Oh, and the hot tub was the most comfortable one we’ve ever been in. This place is a gem. We will likely return year after year!”
Ashleigh, February 2023
“My family of 4 absolutely loved our stay in 'Be Thankful'. Emily and Peter were fantastic hosts, in so many ways. We've stayed in tons rentals over the years, and I wish every host would be like them. There's really too many unique and positive things to say about this place, but a few that stand out are the nearly-immediate responses from Emily/Peter to any question we had, the beauty of the property itself, the newly renovated home with more than enough space for at least 6 people (was super spacious for us 4), the wonderful hot tub and fire pit, and the fully-equipped game room (which was a total surprise!). We'd highly recommend this home and will definitely look to stay here again next time we're in the area.”
