A couple of snafus at the beginning but worked them out (no clean towels). Beds ok, as mattresses were not what we were used to. But the house was decorated nicely and cute. A lot of construction outside which could not be helped. Owner was mostly responsive. ##### Jo C. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lee B.
