Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Everything we needed to cook and bake was already there, and the layout was perfect. The bunk beds were actually large twins, and our teenagers slept perfectly on them with plenty of room. Parking was the only issue: we had two SUVs and we didn’t feel comfortable with the tight spacing and the curve to park both of them in the spot. We parked one vehicle down by the dumpsters and it was safe there all weekend. The view from the porch was so nice and the extra touches the hosts put into making our stay like home here was greatly appreciated. We will be coming back.

We absolutely loved the house and really enjoyed our stay. The property itself was beautiful, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. We would easily give the home itself 5 stars.The only downside for us was communication. Some of our interactions felt a little stressful and made us feel like we had to be overly cautious rather than completely relaxed during our stay. Nothing about the home disappointed us, but the communication aspect did affect our overall experience.Overall, it’s a wonderful property and we had a great time — I just wish the communication had felt a little more welcoming and easygoing.
