The house was perfect for 4 adults to stay for several days while in town for an event. We enjoyed the back patio with the the grill and became the space for others in our party to eat due to the lovely kitchen. Communication was great with the host . We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home! The pictures do not do it justice! And so many friendly accommodations for us- some eggs and milk in the fridge, the air conditioning on upstairs to cool it, little chocolates around. And the backyard was so beautiful! I highly recommend staying here!
