The host and owner were outstanding. Amenities were beyond expectations (with exception of a 2nd TV). Convenience factor was A. Could not have asked for better experience (despite the colder than normal January)! Hope to return next year!
We loved it. It was clean. Everything was nice and new. It was convenient to everything. I would definitely use it again.
