Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was clean and well kept. We had trouble getting into the house initially but the host responded immediately. The two bathrooms were nice. Beds were comfortable and big, but did not have a top sheet. The screen porch was very relaxing to sit in the morning while enjoying a cup of coffee. Visiting in the summer, the house was warm upon entry but cooled off quick. ##### Ann P.
