Early May wedding
Through the years I have stayed at many rental properties. This property was the ONLY one that generously supplied a useful and basic assortment of food like fresh fruit, coffee , teas and snacks. Amazing & truly appreciated!!!
Their beds and linens were supremely clean and comfortable.
I gave them 5 stars on everything except I do wish they had told me the basics of how to operate their alarm system before entering the home. Being from MT, I have no experience with how they work and was seconds away from setting it off. I totally understand that it is necessary; I just wish I had known about how it worked.
Thank you, hosts for a wonderful weekend. It was truly outstanding!
