While we really only slept here rather than got to enjoy the property, we had great communications with our host, slept like rocks and really appreciated the special gift left for us (which we forgot to take with us! ). A great place to stay!

The host Shawndra was very personable and helpful when I spoke to her on the phone. The home is clean and well stocked even though we just stayed overnight and didn’t use anything. It is an older home and could definitely use some modern updates especially in the master bathroom with the tub and the sink. It needs to be totally updated. Bathtub and sink need to be replaced and new blinds throughout the home. You can definitely tell the age of the home.
