A great weekend!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property worked perfectly for our needs. It was very clean and near the friends we were visiting. Over all it was very nice, but the bed in the second bed room needs to be a conventional bed the wooden fram makes it difficult for older guests.

Relaxing and peaceful!

We were very impressed with the cleanliness and beauty of this property. The beds were very comfortable and the master bedroom was huge! It's location provides a quiet, peaceful outdoor experience. Easy check in/out and good communication with any questions. We would definitely stay here again.
