Great stay. House was very spacious, very clean and appreciated the air con being on for our arrival...meant the house was nice and warm in winter. Bed in the main bedroom was very firm. Liked that we could park our car in the garage and close the door before having to get out of the car in the cold. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Ken!
