The house was very nice and clean. The host was communicative and replied quickly. There was smoke linens and towels. I feel that it should be more explicit that there are no televisions anywhere in this house. It wasn't a major issue, but it would have been nice in the evenings.

Due to location, this was not our first choice, but since our first choice was not available, this proved to be just fine. We only stayed one night and did not make use of most of the amenities offered, but we have no complaints on what we did use.

My family (8 adults) enjoyed this stay very much. It was roomy and quiet and the outdoor patio was so peaceful. The only thing we didn’t love were the beds… all of them were pretty uncomfortable.
