We loved our stay here. A beautiful serene setting. SO peaceful. Love the house - three bedrooms each with their own bath. Our grandkids loved the yard with swing and play house with slide. The screened in porch is awesome. And the front porch was a favorite spot on the porch swing. We saw deer regularly, which excited the grandkids. 7 years & 5. SO many extras provided too! TP, paper towel, salt & pepper, dish washer pods, even Q tips in the bathrooms. I definitely recommend this property. We brought along my daughter and son-in-law and two kids. And my 92 year old mother. 7 of us on this trip. Only downside is the climb up either the steps or brick path. Unloading was challenging but packing up was easier. Thankfully my Mom gets around well and was able to navigate the hill ok. We definitely got our exercise. Oh almost forgot, the fire pit is awesome. We love bon fires. Had one each evening. Wood is provided and there was plenty of kindling that was fun to gather. Loved our stay and the State Park Beach is literally 5 minutes by car.
Excellent vacation getaway. I highly recommend.
We enjoyed our stay at the “Wonderwood Cottage”, Juniper Holiday Home. We felt the inside of the home was accommodating, clean and well maintained. We loved the quietness and the expansion of trees everywhere. I chose this house for many reasons: a family vacation, an anniversary, the location, and it’s size but one of our main focuses was to gather in the outdoor patio areas.The outside was pure disappointment. Upon arrival, it was clear the property had not been properly de-winterized or prepared for guests making it feel unclean and poorly maintained from the start. The wagons provided for hauling firewood an supplies were filled with standing water to the top and with debris, rendering them unusable till they dried. We spent an hour and a half cleaning and removing leaves, dead bugs, dirt, and cobwebs from everywhere trying to make the place half way presentable for the rest of the family’s arrival. A manager from housekeeping (Christina) stopped by while we were cleaning and she told us to stop cleaning and she would have someone to clean on Saturday. It was power washed and blown off the best the nice gentlemen (Allen) could do while we were staying there, he was there all afternoon into the evening while we were vacationing. Unfortunately, that did not help us in the moment, because all carpet and furniture was too wet for normal use.Overall outside did not meet expectations, did not look like pictures.
The property is beautiful, and the yard has several fun things for kids. The inside was charming, but some negatives stood out. Ant traps were placed in many places easy for kids and pets to get to. There was a large stain on the couch and ceiling near a sky light. Multiple lights didn't work. The checkin and checkout weren't ideal (check in is at 4 and check out at 10). Kitchen had plenty of utensils and cooking gear.
The house is surrounded by forest, making the area feel very quiet and peaceful. The backyard is charming and well set up for relaxing, cooking, and outdoor games. Since it seemed to be early in the season, the outdoor area wasn’t fully prepared yet, with some old leaves around and dusty patio furniture.
Inside, the house was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, including items for infants. We really enjoyed our stay.
We loved this beautiful property. You see the forest through every window, the living space with fireplace is warm and cozy and we appreciated the separate TV room. The beds are wonderfully comfortable and the kitchen is great. The variety of outdoor and screened spaces let you really enjoy the property. Great spot.
Amazing stay with plenty of rooms to relax in. Wonderful and clean experience!
