It was very comfortable and met all our needs. I would definitely recommend this property and would definitely stay again. The hospitality was greatly ,appreciated.Larry H. ##### Larry H. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dawnette G. Sep 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location We were very happy with the property, just disappointed that the fireplace did not work. I would suggest removing the fireplace as an amenity on your listing. I specifically look for properties that have a fireplace. The property was very clean and check in was easy. The rate was a little pricey but I am guessing it is because it was a holiday weekend? Thank you! ##### Dawnette G.
