First this property is set in a wooded, quiet, peaceful area. We arrived to find everything very clean and well stocked. Every room was comfortable and cozy. The beds were comfortable and we slept very well. Our host checked in often to be sure we had everything we needed. Internet worked well and we had no problems with anything.We will be very happy to return when we visit this area again.
