Best one yet

We downsized to a tiny condo in Linden Hills and when we have visitors I get a VRBO for all of us to stay in. Boxwood Cottage is the best one we’ve ever had. It is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The locks worked smoothly and the kitchen had plenty of glassware and dishes. We’ll be booking this property again.
