The host was very responsive. House is large and great for multiple families. The Christmas tree was an extra cute touch. Loved the backyard. The hot tub barrel sauna and firepit got a lot of use! The area is nice and quiet. Short walk to lake and playground.My only suggestions are: kitchen is not fully stocked. There are no baking sheets and ver limited pots and pans. Looks like previous guests may have taken some stuff home. There is also only a deck of cards no other board games. Screen sliding door is off the track and there was some broken plates outside/confetti so cleaners def didn’t clean that very well.Minor issues, otherwise very happy with our stay.The beds are extremely comfortable!
