Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This is a beautiful property, exactly as described! So spacious and room for 8 adults to spread out. So many fun amenities with ping pong in the garage, kayak's (with easy launching access), and many nearby towns with restaurants, etc. The hosts were very responsive, prior to and during our stay. We would highly recommend this property!
