Love DA!
Kristine was so helpful and communicative. The house was clean and cozy, and I felt comfortable letting my 15 month old wander and explore without any hazards inside. We definitely would stay here again. Thank you for everything! Sorry we left a couple things behind lol.

Beautiful home with ample space and very comfortable for two couples in town to see music at the Gorge (40 min. drive away). Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Great communication from host. Wonderful VRBO experience.
