Excellent Vacation Home!
The accommodations were wonderful with so many thoughtful little touches, like couch blankets, coffee and toiletries. Plenty of towels and a great kitchen with pretty much everything you could possibly need. The landscaping was fun and if you lay on the front porch at night, you get an unbelievable view of the active night sky. The back patio was great for morning coffee and spending time with my kids, who loved the yard! The beds were comfy with plenty of pillows and blankets. We could not have asked for more.

Cozy and relaxing
The house was quite charming and served its purpose well. I appreciated the full-size, programmable coffee pot! While most of our days were spent out and about exploring and sightseeing, it was nice to return back to such a cozy place. We were, however, disappointed to find the balcony mentioned in the listing was restricted from use. While the view from the backyard was not entirely bad, it would have been better to have had the higher vantage point. We had to take turns in the lounge chair since the second one was on the balcony. The pictures online show the closed door without the "Private" sign. I checked my booking email to see if I had missed anything about the balcony being restricted and nothing was mentioned. Overall, a good stay.
