Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Appliances did not work (dishwasher, stove).
Pool table broken, foosball set up was wrong. The most important was the Gas grill that did not operate even with a full gas tank.
We Love being outdoors, camping, and traveling with our beautiful dog, Bacci. We wanted to create a home that makes the guests feel at home and also invites them to enjoy the magic of the place as well as the gifts of nature.
