Great!
We enjoyed it very much! I didn’t realize from the listing that it had two living rooms and two big couches—that was a nice surprise. Had everything we needed minus Kleenexes. Hot water, comfy beds, ice, and plenty of towels/wash cloths. Enjoyed the sky lights for the natural light. Would recommend!

Cute and clean house
Great stay on this cute property. The house was super clean, all except the master shower. The garden was blooming and had ripe raspberries to pick, the pictures don’t do justice to how charming the garden is. Rob, the property manager was very communicative and friendly. Very homey and comfortable!
