This house is in a great location. It is well appointed, big backyard, and bikes for visitors use. Very comfortable beds. It is a very artistically designed house and Dorian’s beautiful art can be viewed throughout. Would definitely stay in this house again.

We had our shelties with us. They loved the large yard to play ball and to have some freedom in a secure, fenced place.The house was modernly appointed with obvious attention to details by our host.We cooked breakfast everyday and relaxed with coffee as we planned our activities.Our host provided everything that you would expect from a high end concierge hotel, including an extensive book with instructions for everything in the house and extensive recommendations for activities and dining choices.When trying to book this property, there was a glitch with VRBO and our host personally intervened to resolve the issues seamlessly.We were having such a good time at this property that we had family over for snacks and to watch a football game. They all were impressed.We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay and our host helped us navigate the process with VRBO.We can't wait to go back!Best vacation that we've had in years to relax and unwind!
