Delaine was very easy to communicate with. She kept us up to date on everything - even a possible internet outage in the area! The house itself was super clean and comfortable. It is laid out nicely so it feels roomy. The kitchen was well stocked and had nice extra touches that were appreciated. Same with the bathrooms. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks, Delaine!
