Thanks so much for the awesome review! We're so glad you loved the house, the peaceful location, and all the little extras. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to have you back anytime!
We had a 10 out of 10 experience with our 6 night stay! We were allowed an earlier check in the with great communication with the hostess. The place was immaculate, cozy, excellent WiFi, great outdoor space. Private which we avidly loved. We grilled out a couple nights, had a bonfire, cooked smores (complimentary by the hostess) We will be back in the spring 2026 Thanks again Helen. You were so wonderful to work with. Wish you all the best!
