Good little mid-week getaway!
Six adults, 3-day mid-week getaway, this house was nearly perfect. Clean, large, nicely appointed, and hosts were responsive and helpful. A couple of caveats: no barbecue, showers were very deep drop-down (yes, we were warned, but they were really deep!). Also, there were no instructions for the tv -- it was unplugged and remote was in another room. Overall there were odd remotes here and there with no instructions. None of this spoiled our trip -- the house and outside area were lovely, convenient, super-clean. We would stay there again.
