Clean and spacious getaway for our family
Our family enjoyed our stay at this house! It was very private, stocked with all that we needed, and the beds were quite comfortable. Everything was very clean! Just a minor thing to be aware of, the wifi is not reliable at all, but I not sure there is anything the owners could do about that. All in all, it was a nice house and we would gladly stay there again.
