Cosy stay

We loved our stay, the host was very accommodating and communicated with us before and before our arrival with clear instructions on getting there, things to do and self self-check-in in process. We had everything except the marshmallows to toast on the fire. Being city slickers we had no idea how to start a fire, luckily our host was at hand to start it for us.It's on a big enough property that our schnauzer enjoyed walking around freely but kept her on a leash most of the time.Thanks so much Paul and Cathy
