Great host. Great place
Took me back in time. Was a fantastic reminder of days gone by. I would recommend to anybody looking for a great house with all amenities and also for those looking for a bit of a difference from your normal.

AI is useless
The property was spectacular and delivered exactly what we had expected and more. That is on the owner. When I could break through the AI chatbot that VRBO provides for feedback the owner was responsive and helpful. When I return to this property I will seek out the owner directly and cut out VRBO. Loved the property and highly recommend it highly.
