Perfect place to stay! The host was very accommodating, she knew why we were there and knew we would arrrive late, she had some breakfast items waiting for us to grab and go the next morning. It was a great spot and we loved all the animals running around.

Spacious

I was surprised at how spacious this rental was. I thought it had a great location. It wasn’t far from the overpass in just a quick drive to many local hotspots. I rented this for my father in law and adult son to stay at. They enjoyed they enjoyed the fireplace because it was a chilly weekend when they stayed. The hostess Bridgett was quick to respond and ask if we needed anything. Bridgett actually was able to turn up the heater, from her phone, for my father-in-law because he couldn’t figure it out himself. I really appreciated Bridgett’s help. Plan to rent again in the future.
