The home is beautiful and welcoming. We had a family wedding in town and having amenities that helped us get ready was extremely helpful. Great kirchen and bathroom, all decorated very nice. The beds are so comfortable as well.

Very comfortable stay. Great location. Clean. Well equipped with everything you need. I stay in many rental properties and usually you get about two trash bags, two toilet paper rolls, etc. This host provided a plethora of anything you would need such as soap, towels, trash bags, paper towels, kleenex, etc. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for our entire party. It was very convenient having three full bathrooms. Hosts are very responsive if you need anything.
