Let’s begin with, how clean this place was. I wiped down surfaces with Lysol wipes upon arrival and not a spec of dust on any of it. Lots of dishes in the pantry for our large party. Plenty of places to sleep, only downside, was there weren’t enough blankets for anyone who was wanting to stay on a pullout. Everything was EXCELLENT! The only and absolute ONLY thing I did not enjoy was the bed. The mattress was a super stiff mattress, like something a former inmate may relate to, ultimately, great stay and I would consider it again.
