Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The location was the best part of our stay. The inside of the house was clean and fit our group perfectly. The outside was a bit messy and the nice porch area wasn’t very welcoming with the fountain with the dirty rain puddle just sitting there attracting mosquitos, if they put a little effort on the outside, it would have been an excellent score. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here.
