The house is a great location and nicely appointed. Unfortunately we had no wifi all week. We have stayed here twice so definitely enjoy it. However, I must point out that it would be nice to have a chest of drawers to keep clothes in the large bedroom on the right. Also, we had no instruction manual for the dishwasher, so never could make it work. . Thanks!
