Reviews
Niki
Lark Hollow was beautiful. It was exactly what we were looking for. There was more than enough room for our family of 5 and it was such an amazing place for our pup to relax as well. It was very centrally located and there was so much to explore and do within a half hour of the home. Plenty of trails and beautiful towns to visit along with very friendly locals. We will absolutely be back!

Firewood may be purchased at the time of booking or with a week's notice. You receive two wrapped, kiln-dried bundles and a fire starter for $25 plus tax per night.
The owners of this home use exterior driveway cameras to ensure their home remains safe. One is located on a tree monitoring a section of the driveway, the other is mounted on a pole monitoring the other section of the driveway.. No cameras monitor the decks, firepit area, or interior spaces.
The property is set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a STARTER SET of toilet tissue, paper towels, bath toiletries, dish soap, and trash bags.

We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.
This home comes equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crockpots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item, it is best to bring that from your home.
