We had an excellent stay at this VRBO. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and very well appointed. The kitchen and appliances were top-notch, making it easy to cook and enjoy meals at home. The back deck was a great space to relax, and the location was extremely convenient to Main Street and nearby hiking. Linens and furniture were high quality and added to the overall comfort of the stay. Highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay here again.
