The beautiful view of sunset was not over sold. Well insulated from traffic noise. After a few glitches getting in the owners were very helpful & responsive. Well stocked kitchen. We spent a lot of time on the deck in the back. Consider if you have trouble with stairs because after unloading the car there is a flight of stairs going down to get in the house. Had a very relaxing time!

The advertisement was false leading. The game room wasn’t able to use. Games missing cords , tv didn’t work. The place had broken doors to laundry room, thresholds were not secure, possible of someone getting hurt. Pet scratches on window sills, doors. Curtains broken or missing slats. The property needs some maintenance to bring it up to the price they want to charge.

Great Getaway!

Our family had an amazing time here! The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed, and they even had a smores kit on the counter which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall the house was clean, and cozy which was perfect because we stayed during winter. We had a lot of fun with the digital game board and ping pong table in the garage, and lounging outside in the fire. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Easy arrangements

The hosts are very responsive and welcoming. Place is well equipped and good for a family with master bedroom upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs that share a bath Only drawback is it is on a very busy road.
