Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The checkin & checkout processes cannot be beat-the ease earned them 5 stars. The views and ambiance are calming, so it’s easy to relax. The historical integrity of the home is evident in every room, and it was fun to explore. We stayed with 8 people, so having two separate living rooms/dining areas/kitchens was wonderful! Owner was very communicative and personable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an easy and relaxing experience!
