The rental was super cute and cozy. All of the decor made it feel very homey! We were in town for my mother in laws wedding and it was the perfect spot to stay. We will absolutely be staying there again when we visit the area.

Great little spot for a weekend!

Property manager was super easy to get into contact with and amazingly accommodating (we were traveling with a boat and trailer in addition to our vehicle). We had no issues at all, but I could see how one may be “confused” for getting to the location/door *IF* they did not read the instructions correctly - I know how some people are about skimming the content sometimes… don’t do that and you’ll be perfectly fine!
