We love Amber’s home. We came a few weeks ago over Labor Day weekend and came back again for a week. We loved the restaurant next door and ate there three times. All the kitchen needs are here and well stocked.Shampoo, conditioner and body wash available in the shower. The most comfortable beds.It felt like “home” the whole time. The community is small and quiet. Amber is a fantastic host and I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful get away.
