Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Nice, quiet, clean house and location. Definitely enjoyed the "extras" included like the soap, paper towels, toilet paper, kitchen utensils and necessities. Clean ans up to date kitchen, appliances, and bathrooms. Plenty of room and closet spaces for our family. The only suggestion we have is to update the listing regarding a washer and dryer. We had planned to wash clothes and were unable to. But it was nice to not have to do laundry on vacation. Others may need to know to bring additional towels if staying several nights. ##### Josh B.
