Beautiful home
House and Property was very nice and clean we were very pleased with it
Surrounded by trees, it is beautiful. This is truly a lovely property. A short walk down to Hunters Park. It is a wonderful spot except that the cleaners certainly leave a bit to be desired.

Perfect in every way!
The location couldn't have been better. The weather was exceptional for outdoor activity. The accommodations were clean and well appointed with everything we needed to cook at home. We enjoyed sitting on the deck hoping to see wildlife but didn't. We did have a visitor one night. One morning we woke up to the lock on the garbage container broken and knocked over with bear paw prints as evidence, but no bear in sight. We enjoyed our week-long stay immensely and plan to return in the near future!

Shower
Shower floor is quite slick when rinsing shampoo or soap, inside and outside shower mats would be safety additions.
