We were very impressed with how clean and well stocked the house was. The location of the house was perfect for seeing the attractions. When we needed Dan he came right over to help. The yard was big and and the landscaping gave our dogs boundaries. Would not hesitate to recommend this house.

We loved this house! The location and view were amazing, everything was even better than described. It was very windy our first night and the house never even creaked. The owner is a great guy and was very welcoming. We would stay here again, 1000%.
