Weekend Getaway
Nice home, basic necessities which is what we were looking for. The property was fairly clean - air vents/heat vents were noticeably dusty. We did wish there were more than 2 extra blankets as it was chilly at night. Also there was only one pillow on one of the beds. Adding nightstands to the bedroom would be nice.
Overall, we were happy with our stay.
