We had a wonderful stay at this cute property. It is conveniently located a short drive from St. Elmo. My brother worked at the house during the day and he said it was a comfortable place to work.  The house was very clean. I didn’t cook much, but the kitchen is well stocked for anyone who plans to cook.  The owner communicated details about the property clearly.
