We loved the location and the overall space. Loved the hot tub and the kitchen! The few issues we had were that there wasn’t any hot water upstairs, and there was very low water pressure overall in the house. We weren’t able to get the gas fire pit to light either. Overall a positive experience.

We were in town for a wedding and extended our stay in the area. Faith was very accommodating with allowing us to check in 30 minutes early so we could make the wedding at 4:00. This was so helpful and very much appreciated. The house was very clean. The proximity to the water was nice. The hottub was clean. Communication was excellent when we had questions and were answered promptly. We brought our own kayaks, it would be nice if the kayaks on site were included with the rental fee. The barbecue grill was not available, as listed, but we made due without. The grass seemed unusually high, making cleaning up after our pets a little more difficult, than it would have been if it was recently mowed. Overall it was a nice stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!
