Fabulous rental home in a peaceful setting. Everything was top shelf. Owners thought of everything. Nice touches throughout; such as premium towel sets, a loaded kitchen, binoculars, flashlights, ice packs, perfectly appointed bathrooms and so much more. We could not have been happier with our choice.
