Liked: Cleanliness
Lovely The Little Gem is as charming and well maintained as shown and exceeded our expectations as far as thoughtful touches and extras, like the dog bowls, toys and even blankets for our spoiled rotten fur baby. The house was clean and cozy, and the king bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals, and we especially enjoyed the Blackstone grill. The house is very dog friendly, and the fenced-in spacious yard was perfect for play time. We loved morning coffee in the screened in porch. We highly recommend The Little Gem and will definitely be back.

The property was very clean and easy to find. I loved the quiet setting and enjoyed the bunny rabbits and birds. The flowers were also beautiful. The location was very convenient, not far from family.
