We loved our stay at your house! It was so cozy and very clean!! The house was stocked with everything we could have possibly needed, would definitely stay again!
It was a very nice property. We enjoyed our stay. It was a little bit farther from our destination in chassell proper. We made it work, and our family had a great time!
Comfortable beds, well-equipped, clean, and easy check-in and out. Our party of eight people slept comfortably in this home. The quirky shower in the basement turned out to be a convenience we actually enjoyed which kept the main bathroom available. We highly recommend The Homestead.
The house is very clean and comfortable. The owners provide lots of little extras.The only problem I had was that the booking said Bath and a half while the half bath was actually a basement shower and not an extra toilet.
