Stairs down to the unit are no joke so pack light! Laurie was very kind and conscientious when our VRBO communication was faulty. She resolved the matter immediately and all was good. ##### Doreen S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stefan T. May 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Not it’s own property I feel like the listing wasn’t super accurate as to the rental being one of 4 other units on the property, and there being a full time rental on the floor below. The pictures make it look like its own property. Everything turned out fine and I don’t think there were any issues with the other tenants, but it made us worried about bothering other people. The spot is beautiful though and very clean. ##### Stefan T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiffany R. Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We really enjoyed our stay - everything you need is provided and its a great place to bring children. We especially enjoy having breakfast on the patio, the vegetation is absolutely gorgeous!!! ##### Tiffany R.
