This was a delightful place to stay. The house is charmingly decorated, very comfortable and warm, with plenty of room. Communication was easy and open and very clear. There's a slight moth ball scent that hangs in the air but other than that it was all perfect: very clean, plenty of items available for use: really lovely overall.

Lovely Home in Great Location

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this lovely home very much. We walked into town several times as the weather was beautiful. Our contact person checked in with us pretty much every day to ask if we needed anything. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again should the need arise.
