Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We loved our stay here.It started out a bit rocky just bc we lost cell service in the last couple min of the trip and gps isn’t 100% accurate. After getting back on the app I saw I’d missed his message about location that would’ve helped before we were searching for the house but it wasn’t a big deal. The house is a hidden gem imo. Total camp vibes with the luxuries of a hot tub, fire pit and water front spot it was nice sitting on the back deck while it was raining and also getting to enjoy it in nice weather sitting in the hot tub. It felt like everything and everything was thought of here in line of things available for your use so if you forget something don’t stress too much.I wish could’ve stayed so much longer. Hoping to come back with my family for the next visit.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2026
