This home far exceeded our expectations. Very clean, high quality home in a beautiful and quiet location. The interior was so clean and well decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook multiple meals and there was plenty of seating in the kitchen area and living room. Check in was simple and communication with the owner was timely. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Many thanks for everything!!
