Great stay
Super clean and great for 2-3 people. My mom and I enjoyed the patios and seeing the deer in the evening. We had a great stay and would love to come back. Please note there *IS* an AC wall unit upstairs and it helped keep the house cool even though it wasn’t central air. VRBO Property manager had said there wasn’t AC so that was confusing.

Everything was great at the house. Loved the end of the road which made us feel secluded. Would recommend to others for sure!
