Note i am leaving this review due to the fact the host blocked my wife from doing so after we vontacted them directly :Upon arrival we noticed the inside of the house:•Had a odor throughout the house.•Laminate kitchen floor panels are popping up and can cut your feet open.•The Kitchen island, Living room coffee table and dresser in 2nd largest BR were dirty and sticky.• In the 2nd largest BR there were hard old French fries on the floor beside the bed.• The upstairs bathroom tub was dirty and the drain had garbage stuffed in it. •The silverware drawer had something spilled in it, we had to clean any silverware before we used it.•The backyard was completely littered with garbage and broken glass and nothing was wiped down, everything was dirty, the table, all the chairs, couch and hot tub.•We did not use the hot tub, it was dirty the water was clouded, and the bottom had green algea spots. •The carpets and floors have not been vacuumed or cleaned in a long time. My daughter got dressed in the downstairs bathroom walked across the kitchen and sat on the couch and said "Mom, this floors disgusting" her socks were covered in nasty stuff from the rug in the living room.•the list goes on but review only allows so many words , the structural integrety of the house floors is poor and dangerous .They did a good job hiding flaws to the naked eye but when you feel you will fall through a floor that says alot .They didnt offer any apology or refund .Thank you and beware

A comfortable place with equal heavy sprinklings of home and being on vacation. Everywhere you look in the place feels good. The hosts communicate quickly and in a very friendly way. Would totally stay here again!
