Everything was just so wonderful for our extended family to meet up here. Plenty of room, super clean, easy to access, easy to communicate the host. My only small complaint is that one of the rooms didn’t have a door, it was a study off of the kitchen. We still had enough beds but there was little privacy for the two who stayed in that room. But overall, we all loved the space, the back deck especially. It was perfect for our family get together.

The house was gorgeous and spacious. But more important than that, the hosts were readily available to answer questions from the time of booking until we left and were super flexible. They reached out a few days in advance to make sure the beds/furniture would be arranged the way we needed before we arrived. An all-around great experience!
