Great Space

We enjoyed our stay here. We had a minor setback when the batteries in the door failed but the property host was great and we were able to get a key to override the electronic lock. VRBO made communication with the host difficult when this happened, but once he was aware of the issue it was handle. The previous person who stayed must have cook a lot of bacon because the place had a heavy smell of bacon and bacon grease was everywhere. We were able to use supplies that were on hand to get that cleaned up and it did not deter from our stay. This is a great location. We will be back.
