Wonderful Little Respite
This was a wonderful by little home away from home. A great space literally right at the start of the Three Twisted Sisters Trail. The home has all of the comforts one needs to stay, play, eat, and sleep. Comfortable furnishings to relax in. Plenty of kitchen gear to cook meals or reheat leftovers. Entertainment options for enjoying your downtime after a day of exploring and adventures. Close to town while staying rural with deer and other wildlife walking right up to the back yard. And the hosts were accommodating and responsive, answering our questions promptly and meeting our needs throughout the trip. The welcome “basket” was an awesome touch with snacks and treats and even thoughtful toys for our pet. Thank you so much to Pablo and Rosy for the wonderful home away from home.

Terrible yard! Does not look like pictures!
Well, the home was ok but we chose this location because of the space outside. It was in horrible condition with grass over a foot long! Tried to get owners to clean up....they ignored us. Not a very good experience for sure!

Lovely 2 Bed Rental in Medina
This rental nestled in the heart of Medina is right next to the Old Timer & downtown Medina. The upgraded home is quiet & restful with a backyard that looks out over a field where Axel deer visit regularly. I had a wonderful visit & enjoyed every minute staying here.

Weekend getaway
Great location for anyone interested in riding the Twisted Sisters motorcycle route. It was beautiful cruising the area. Appreciated the tips given by Pablo and restaurant recommendations and the snacks provided. We also spent time at the local river spot with our kids swimming in the cool river. We visited the Lost Maples Natural Area for hiking and went to the Devil's Sinkhole tour. It was a great stay and house met all our needs.
