Apr 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Stay! This house was absolutely perfect for our family! My parents, with limited mobility, were able to stay on the main floor all week while my husband, girls, and I had ample room upstairs. We took our dogs and they loved exploring in the fenced in back yard that was well maintained with beautiful foliage. I tend to overpack my own kitchen essentials when I travel but I didn’t need them! The kitchen was well equipped with anything we’d need. Audra was quick to respond with any questions or requests. The walking distance to the pond and walking trail was perfect! I didn’t want to leave… I highly recommend this property! ##### Leslie C.
