The host was great & very quick to respond when we needed help unlocking & shifting thermostat from heat to air (it was unseasonably warm outside for late Nov). Kitchen was well equipped for cooking & had everything we needed. It was just us & another couple staying & was perfect for low key, relaxing weekend indoors. Parking is a little tight at the house (especially turning around in larger vehicle); however it did mention additional parking was available at front of the road. Overall enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
