It was very refreshing to stay in a home that was well equipped. Plenty of kitchen items, towels, etc. Also nice to stay in a home that felt like a home and not a short term rental investment property outfitted with cheap and uncomfortable furniture. The little town of Mt Ida has all the essentials and plenty of cafes and mom & pop restaurants. I loved this stay!
This was our 1st trip to Mt. Ida, we had a great time. The house was great reminded us of my granny's house in southern Mississippi. The pool was great to cool off after a day of digging. 10 out of 10.
Such a great location to everything in Mt Ida. We went to the Crystal Mine and if we would have used the cleaning station it would have been nice! This was our halfway point so we left ours in the buckets we brought. Pool was very cloudy but usable for the hot day!
The house was very cozy and themed well for the area. The Rock decorations were very cool and unique. The amenities were great and had everything we needed as well! Lots of room to spread out, if you are looking for a quiet, friendly place to stay and get away from your electronics, this is the place to go. Only complaint I would have is that my family is very tall and the toilet is too close to the sink cabinet, but if you are short then this shouldn't be an issue. Would rent from again!
My husband, myself, and our dogs stayed here over 4th of July. Donna went the extra mile to make sure the pool was in good shape for us to enjoy over this hot holiday. The pool was fantastic! I wish we didn't have to leave. The property is very private and surrounded by beautiful woods. Only one house is barely visible off in the distance. The home was clean and well equipped. We made many meals in the kitchen during our stay. The surrounding area has many things to do and the nearby town of Mt. Ida had everything we needed, just minutes away. We hope to return! I wish we could be here every weekend!
It was a real treat to be able to stay in the House of Grace during the eclipse. The geology and remoteness of the home added to the wonder and tranquility of our stay. The home has all the amenities, including laundry, which made our stay that much more pleasant. We cooked each night and enjoyed the spring weather. It was too early in the season I suppose for the pool to be ready, but the garden and fire pit made for a lot to do. The home was comfortable and accommodating. There is much to do in the area, or you can relax and enjoy what Mount Ida has to offer. Thank you,Donna, for allowing us the opportunity.
The check in process, directions, location, amenities were fabulous and we had a great time! The only issue was that the house wasnât very clean. Walked through some spiderwebs in the doorways. The floors were dirty. The toilet had such a strong urine smell that you didnât want to spend much time in the bathroom but the scented wax heater did help.
We really enjoyed our visit and would come back!!
Had a great week! The pool was amazing. Getting there was a little bit of a challenge, but overall it was a great place! Can't wait to come back next year!!
My family and I had a fabulous stay! The house is a perfect location for visiting local crystal mines. There is a wash station outside for rinsing crystals. The pool was great after a hot day of digging. We enjoyed the wildlife every morning under the pear trees. The hostess was quick to respond to questions we had. We will definitely be staying again.
We had a great stay for my daughters 18th birthday trip. We went digging for crystals and then cooled off in the pool and had family meals at the house. We enjoyed the home and Donna was easy to keep in touch with.
We fell in love with the area when we brought our granddaughter crystal mining. So we decided to have a place to come back to more often and share with others the enjoyment we have found.
