Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem The property hits every mark. Well manicured, check. Spacious, check. Amenities, check.I am not a wordy person but I have nothing but positive comments about the property and the host. Stephanie went above and beyond throughout the process. She baked fresh muffins and met us to check in. The frigde was stocked to include eggs and bacon. The towels were all Egyptian cotton and the linens were of top quality.Our family would have preferred keyless entry as we came and went at different times, but we found a work around. My family truly enjoed our stay at this hidden gem. ##### Marcus B. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025
