Gary's place is wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view from the deck is beautiful, the house is comfortable and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The proximity to local attractions was just right and we would definitely recommend this home as a perfect holiday retreat. Communication with Gary was top notch.
