The house is beautiful and clean. The owners are extremely friendly, and genuinely want you to have a comfortable stay. A little more attention to the small details will go a long way is making this a five-star property. Specifically, a little more attention to the kitchen small appliances, better quality knives (dull knives are very dangerous), and other small details. Provide toilet paper and paper towels.

Perfect extended family home

We rented this beautiful home for our family to stay in during our son’s wedding. It was a wonderful experience being able to have parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins under the same roof. We had a lovely visit. It was large enough to accommodate us very comfortably with room to spare. Incredibly responsive hosts! Would highly recommend!

Property was just as pictured and described. Beautiful home with lots of room and everything you could need. Host was absolutely fantastic and very responsive. We had an issue with the stove keeping temp and he responded right away and fixed it on the spot. We had some folks leave items behind and he reached out to find out if they belonged to us and agreed to ship them to us. Host is great and very honest!
