Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is tucked away in a beautiful wooded area, making it very private, peaceful, and relaxing. The only disappointment was that the listing advertised three queen beds, but one of them was actually a sofa bed. It would be helpful if the listing made that clearer. Overall, we had a great stay and loved the secluded location.

Hi Spencer. Thanks for staying at our place. I appreciate your feedback. Actually the 3rd Queen bed we talk present is a fold out floor bed, stored in the closet, for use in the sun room or living room. The pull out sofa bed is a 4th bed, a double. Still only 2 bedrooms. I'll look at the wording again, but I think that is how it's listed. Two bedrooms and 3 queen beds. Thanks again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This was the perfect house for our family of four. Plenty of room for our toddler to explore and open space to keep an eye on the baby. Everything was clean and all the amenities were there, which always makes it easier traveling with kiddos. The host was quick and easy to communicate with! A super short drive from Thousand Hills, 5 minutes max. If we ever visit again, we’ll definitely check this places availability.
