Charming Property!

This place is absolutely charming! It's clear the hosts have put a lot of effort into making this home attractive and comfortable for guests. It is very clean, so well decorated and they even provided snacks (something we have never seen before in a vacation rental). Bed was also very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub as well. Also appreciate that they allow pets!
