Great home, very nicely done. Poor communication with the owner. Our internet went out the first day and the owner never responded to our requests for fixing it.

What a perfect place to stay!!! The hot tub was wonderful and the house was clean and comfortable. The bunkbed room was perfect for the kiddos and the master bedroom has the best mattress I have ever slept on. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Stillwater.
