We had an amazing experience at this rental! It was super cute, cozy, and comfortable for our family of five. It is obvious that Heather has put a lot of thought into making sure her guests are well taken care of and she was super communicative and helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed the extra touches she provided - teas and coffee and snacks! The kids also had a blast at the pool also! I couldn’t keep my boys off the slide. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay! I am making it a point to review bc this was the first place I’ve booked that didn’t have one and it made me a bit nervous but I am ecstatic that I booked anyway bc this place was amazing. 10/10 would absolutely stay again and recommend to friends and family!
This is the second time staying here. Once again, our stay was fantastic, but this time it was warm enough for us to use the pool which was so much fun for my family. I love the nice touches Heather adds to our stay, like extra coffee, snackies, games and puzzles. My favorite time of the day was having coffee on the front deck, listening to the birds and watching the squirrels play in the trees. I loved every minute of my week-long stay. Thank you Heather for opening your lovely home to us. We will be back!
