This property is exactly as advertised – except that they don’t tell you how fantastic the host family is! DeeDee and Scott made us feel welcome before we even arrived. The house is clean and well appointed. We didn’t need anything extra in the kitchen. The backyard is delightful in the evenings. We will definitely be back!
