We had a great overall experience on this trip. Some things to note: there was a small wharf not mentioned in the listing, which was a big bonus. Unfortunately the hot tub had to undergo maintenance during our stay which was unfortunate but there was excellent communication from our host. The cleanliness was overall good, but we did find a pair of underwear in the primary suite that was not from any of our party. The downstairs living area also seemed to undergo water damage and there was a couch missing that we were not made aware of. There are also no baking sheets for cooking, which is not the end of the world, but something to keep in mind. Again, overall really great experiences, just a few minor areas to improve upon.

Hi Claire, Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear you had a great overall experience and that the small wharf turned out to be an unexpected bonus during your stay! We’re sorry the hot tub required maintenance while you were with us, though we’re pleased our communication helped make the situation a little easier. We also appreciate you bringing the other details to our attention. We’ll review the housekeeping process and the downstairs area with our team, and we’ll look into the kitchen supplies as well. We truly appreciate your kind comments and helpful feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide an even smoother stay next time!
