The house was great. Communicating with Katie and Adam from The McCormick Management Team was easy. Getting into and closing up the house was also very easy. We loved the huge back screen porch. We also were so inspired by the artwork in the house that we purchased some art from artists in town. We very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this rental.
