We loved this house and the set up. They had everything we needed and were very quick to respond whenever we needed something. The ONLY complaint would be the beds in all the rooms. They were rock hard. We had to take turns sleeping on the couch at night. Overall it was a great trip though!

We’re sorry the beds weren’t as comfortable as you expected, and we really appreciate you sharing that feedback with us. We’re happy you still had a great trip and would love to host you again in the future!
