I booked this for our employees to stay while on a project in the area. They loved the home and said it was beautiful. It had everything they needed. The host, Amanda, was so easy to work with. She has great communication skills and is so kind. I highly recommend this home and any of the other properties Amanda hosts. She is top-notch.
