Response from VrboOwner on 11 Jun 2026
Shanna her husband and their 2 super well behaved dogs were wonderful guests. It was my pleasure meeting and hosting them for their visit to the area. They are warm, friendly very easy to communicate with and they left the cottage in great condition. I highly recommend them to any other host. They are special and always welcome back anytime.
