Aug 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delightful Gem Oh this was such a cozy home. We loved the attention to details. The host made sure we had everything we needed. For context, I traveled with my 2 children ages 9 & 10 my mother age 74 and my husband. We cooked, watched movies in the sitting room and walked to shopping at the little sundry shop just down the street. It’s a truly beautiful home, you won’t be disappointed. We walked along the river in the backyard. It was far enough from the house to feel comfortable with the kids going outside. There are 2. Bikes in the garage and you just 2 blocks from the lake. It was absolutely worth every penny. ##### YolAnda S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim S.
