Terrific property and very gracious hosts. The house was great and well stocked, all the convenances of home - Dishwasher, washer & dryer. One thing that was listed in description was a hide abed, the couch in the house didn't have a hide abed the couch was wide enough for one of our guest to sleep on comfortably. Overall it was a great stay.
