The place has beautiful architecture. The host were very responsive to any question I had." - Massiel F.
"5 Star ⭐️ Rental from communication with the hosts, to the space of the property - ideal for a big group, to the sauna and jacuzzi, to the amenities provided in the kitchen - ideal for cooking and hosting, to the responsiveness of the snow storm - shoveling and providing salt for the driveway to the comfort of the home.
