Kathy was amazing! Her and her husband Buzz were great hosts and communicated to us often. The house was perfect for our girls trip. One thing we loved is that they plugged in the house lights on the front porch every night so we returned to a lit house. We thought they had the sweetest touch. Hope to return again!
