This was such a wonderful stay--the host was very responsive, and the place was beautiful. Very easy directions, great amenities, surprising welcome gifts that were appreciated!The rooms, bathrooms and living room were very well set up, and we had a marvelous time there. The house has a fenced backyard and the hot tub was easy to operate. All in all, a great stay and would love to come back soon!
The home was clean and had all the needed amenities. The location was great for stargazing (from the hot tub and the fire pit.We found the appliances somewhat tricky to operate. A user's guide in the unit would have been helpful.
