We were able the relax in the fairly private pool for several days and have a little fire in the fire pit, which is all we needed to unwind. Close proximity to amenities is nice in case you forget something, you won't have to drive far and be out all day. The house is old but updated, it has a great character that we liked a lot. Home is well stocked with paper products, linens, and coffee. The neighbors are quiet and we all kept to ourselves. Gas grill works great! New gas stove works great! The host is very responsive if you run into any issues. We had a great experience.
