Very clean, very peaceful AND beautiful views. We loved hanging out in the hot tub in the evenings relaxing and enjoying the view.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
The owners live in the home. This was not noted prominently in the listing. It was way down in the listing under policies.

From the owner: "We want to clarify that we do live on-site, and this information is included in the listing under the property details and policies so guests can review it before booking. We make every effort to present the space accurately and transparently so there are no surprises. Because this detail is disclosed in the listing, we’re unable to provide refunds for cancellations based on information that is already provided. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback."
The hosts were very nice and generous, but the listing says they stay in a seperate unit on property. That is not accurate. The hosts stay in a different part of the house. There is no living space for guests outside of a small kitchen (without a full size oven) and 2 bedrooms. The property was well maintained and the hosts were super nice, but the listing was very misleading.

We’re glad to hear you found the property well-maintained and appreciated the kindness and generosity of the hosts. The homeowner would like to clarify the following:- The listing does note that the homeowners live on-site in a separate area with a private entrance.- Guests have access to a private 12' x 12' sunroom with seating, games, and a fireplace, which is not shared with the homeowners.- The listing accurately describes the kitchen as a “kitchenette,” which is designed for light meals and snacks, not full cooking.Thank you for letting us know about your visit.

It wasn’t the best sadly it appeared as they were new and haven’t had guests.
The owners were really sweet and generous. However the description of the property was incorrectly and the lack of privacy was dramatically. There is only two doors that separate you from the property owners quarters and you can’t even lock them! For a getaway or vacation I highly don’t recommend it as it has an 11 curfew and quiet time. Everything near it is about an hour away. I personally think they were just new people or just not used to having many guests. But even my guests that came along were super disappointed
