The house was absolutely stunning! We so enjoyed the views and the proximity to downtown. The host was very friendly and responsive, but once we arrived there wasn’t a thing we needed the house was perfect. It was just cold enough to enjoy the fireplaces inside and out. We will definitely stay here again!!
