From the owner: "Hello Michael, we are so delighted you enjoyed your stay with us! We hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend and look forward to welcoming you back any time!"
The property owners took a extra special effort to make sure this place had all the conveniences of home and everything in its place. Like most older properties, it has a couple of idiosyncrasies, but those can be overlooked due to the attention to detail provided by the owners. Would recommend in a heartbeat! Loved our stay.
