We had a wonderful stay & would happily return! The house was lovey, clean, cosy & thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location was fantastic, & our host was incredibly welcoming & thoughtful, even leaving us some yummy snacks on arrival.We also loved that the property is pet-friendly. FYI- For anyone travelling with dogs, it’s worth noting that the backyard is open to the front yard and the front fence and gate aren’t high, so owners of adventurous or athletic dogs may need to keep an eye on them (our dog could easily jump it ).Overall, a beautiful home, a fantastic host, and a wonderful stay. Highly recommended!
