I can say enough about how nice Jan was to work with, a truly nice man!! The house was amazing and had everything you need! Comfy bed, plenty of towels and a great game room. We had a fire one night and he even replenished the kindling and plenty of wood for a great fire. Thanks for a great place to stay!!!!
