We loved our stay at this home! I’ve stayed in many rental homes and this is probably the most uniquely beautiful home I’ve ever stayed in. The hosts were helpful and communicative, offering early check in and late check out (although we couldn’t use them). The property was beautiful and the home was fully stocked with all that we needed. Would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area!
