Wonderful stay

The house was so nice to stay in and clean. It was nice we still had all the amenities of the harbor hotel while staying at the house. The home was conveniently located within walking distance of the restaurants in town. We will definitely be back with friends/family.

Just as Advertised

Overall, we had a great stay. The space is gorgeous and was very clean. Ability to use the facilities of the nearby hotel is also a big bonus. Temperatures reached below 0 while we there, but the heat inside the home worked great!
