It works great, you can work from this home, it will become slower when trying to stream multiple devices, videos, and gaming systems to the Wi-fi load. Shy Beaver Boat Launch is just down our road, less than 2 miles away! We are also only 8 miles from Tatman Beach/Picnic area and the Raystown Resort where you can rent kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, jet skis and boats!

We take pride in our home, and want you to feel at home when you are our guest. We take cleanliness seriously and will do our best to make sure everything is perfect for your vacation! The quiet, wooded area is very lovely you may see animals and insects you don't find in the city and suburbs. Please do not be alarmed or surprised if you see bear, deer, foxes, insects, mice, snakes, etc. We treat our home for pests regularly, but it is impossible to keep these critters away at all times, just as in any mountain home. This is part of the adventure and fun of being in the woods! Guests will not be refunded for these sightings, which are beyond our control. Our many 5 star reviews attest to our constant attention to cleaning and pest control. We can help you to navigate your trip, make recommendations for eating out, things to do and places to see. You will have Dawn's personal cell phone # and she will be quickly responsive to your needs.
