The house has a beautiful view and the hosts are very accommodating and promptly responded to any questions.It’s a lovely home with comfortable beds and furniture.We appreciated that everything “worked “ properly.Having plenty of bathrooms is a plus.I highly recommend this house.
Awesome house. We had plenty of room and having more than one common area made it easy if different folks wanted to do different things. The furniture in the main room was very comfortable. These were especially welcome on the one rainy day we had there. The beds were also very comfortable.
