"Our host was great to work with - quick, helpful and informative. The house didn’t look like much from the outside but the views when you walk in are breathtaking. All bedrooms have great views. House roomy and well layer-out. Plenty of room and privacy for 7 of us. Kitchen especially well stocked. We rented Emmy’s house for a wedding and associated events where we all had to get dressed and be somewhere at the same time… so nice! We never ran out of hot water. Loved the neighborhood. Close to nature, close to stores.All in all, renting the house was an excellent experience. Entire family and our guests rated it superb."
