Great stay!

Loved the welcoming touches throughout the home. We enjoyed a private stay. If you are traveling with a toddler, gratefully there are child locks on cabinets in bathroom and under kitchen sink. The host is responsive and thoughtful. If you visit in the late fall/winter you'll love the Christmas tree!
