We really enjoyed our time at Sky Light! The location was great and close to everything, and the house itself was better than what we were expecting. As someone traveling with small children who needed naps, we so appreciated the blackout curtains in the primary. Would happily stay here again!

The house and grounds were in excellent condition. Yard crew showed up and cleaned off walkways while we were there. Kitchen was fully stocked and had all the utensils you would need. . Rooms and beds were comfort able. The back porch was a good spot to hang out and just chill.

Everything was perect. The host provided everything a person would need. The kitched and bedrooms were well-stocked with all the little things you might forget. Even coffee pods and cooking oil, foil and baggies, towels and sheets, blankets and throws. I cannot say enough nice things. I would love to come back in September.
