Quiet little house in the woods!
The property was clean and ready when we arrived. The neighborhood is quiet which we really enjoyed. The bedding, while a bit firm, was really comfortable and we slept well. The temperature was too low to really enjoy the pool, but we did enjoy hanging out on the back patio grilling burgers! We wanted a low-key place without all the spring breakers and that exactly what we got. We enjoyed it quite a bit!

Calm and Cozy
We really enjoyed our stay here! Everything was exactly as advertised. It felt very very cozy. The AC did stop working for a day but the host was very responsive and got a technician out there the next day and got it fixed. The host also refunded me a small portion for the inconvenience. Throughout that day, we kept all the fans on and we stayed in the pool to cool off as the pool was cold. So, not having a heated pool ended up working out perfectly for us. What I enjoyed the most was the location. In my opinion, it was very much secluded thus giving us privacy (which my family and I love). The only other thing I can say that would have made this stay more comfortable is having enough toiletry and other household items such as trash bags. We did run out on all of those necessities on day 3 as we were a family of 8 staying for 5 days. So we had to go to the nearest store to buy more. This was not an issue for us, but it definitely would have made for a more comfortable stay. The main stores and restaurants were about 15 minutes away but we enjoyed the ride to them as we were able to see more of the city. With that being said, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and would definitely book this home again in the future!
