Carpets upstairs are in need of some cleaning, the washing machine (eventually got it working) and oven were out of order. That part would’ve been nice to know ahead of time as we had menu’s already outlined, and we had to change all meal plans. Aside from that, the host was very responsive, great location, and we had a wonderful time. ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanette H.
