We had a great stay at this spacious home. There was plenty of room for our entire family. The host left us snacks and fresh baked cookies. It has a great view.

⸻We had a wonderful stay at this property! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The location was perfect, and the space was exactly as described in the listing. We especially appreciated how well-stocked the kitchen was and how easy check-in/check-out were.The only small downside was that the washer had a bit of a smell and threw error codes a couple of times, but it didn’t take away from our overall experience.Overall, we would definitely recommend this property and would be happy to stay again in the future!
