Incredible place, wonderfully accommodating and thoughtful host. I am already hoping to get back and stay there again. The location truly could not be better for getting into the park and spending time in town. The house itself is beautiful, and definitely merits a longer stay than I was able to do—I would happily stay there for a week or longer.
