This is my second stay at Kendra’s place. I love this unique little cottage…it’s relaxing, comfortable, and quiet. Perfect getaway, comfortable beds and the outdoor fire pit, sun porch and hot tub makes for a perfect stay. Kendra is a great host. We will visit again!

This place was absolutely amazing!!!!! Often times you can nit pick places because they aren't exactly as advertised....but not here. Remote location which was what we were looking for. Peaceful. The cabin was very nice and comfortable. The huge pond was awesome to look at and just enjoy it with the available kayaks, canoe and fishing. We saw deer from the porch while drinking coffee. The host was phenomenal. Great communication throughout the entire process and stay. One random thing we really enjoyed was the sunrise. We opened the curtains upstairs. Laying in bed you're able to look at the east and watch it come up. (It was pretty chilly outside in the mornings when we were there so being under the blankets instead of outside was a welcomed option) We usually stay somewhere one time and thats it. Then we try other spots out to see different areas of the country. However...... we are already planning our next trip back here. Highly recommend place.

This Was one of the best AirBnBs we have ever stayed in! It was so clean and beautifully decorated. The home is fully stocked with coffee, lots of different creamer, snacks, and bottles of water. They had plenty of dishes, both dishwasher safe and disposable. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a lovely time visiting Mannhappiness, Kendra!

Our stay truly had it all! From the privacy of the property, to the most relaxing hot tub, and the well-stocked home. The house is absolutely adorable. Plenty of space for two families to stay. Plus comfortable beds and couches. I will book with Kendra and Kendall every time! They made it so easy for a relaxing getaway to MHK.

We stay small on purpose. When a home earns a place in the collection, it gets our photography, our team, and our full attention. Owners see every booking in real time.
