10/10 Stay. Very private secluded property with a few surrounding neighbors that won’t bother you. The host was extremely transparent and kind and happy to answer any questions I had over text. Also, a cleaning fee is automatically included in your final price, which is really nice because even if you don’t leave with everything perfect just like you came the cleaning crew is able to patch up what you missed. Lastly, this house is very big and has so much space both outside and inside and so many rooms and is just an overall great place to stay for a few people or even a whole family. The low price you must pay is by far worth it. Do recommend!
