Shaun and his guests were exceptional to host! They followed the house rules, communicated very well, and left the place clean. I would highly recommend them as future guests!
Very cozy and clean. Loved the country decor setting.
It was a really easy process. Really did like the decor and cleanliness. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others. More seating in living room area would have been good but we weren’t there for a long amount of time during our overnight stay.
