Communication was a little slow to confirm any needs for the property, but that was most likely due to the influx of renters with hurricane helene. Was glad to have a place to take a needed respite from no water, no power, no internet. Place was clean and lovely and well stocked. There are in fact 2 fridges, with one in the downstairs. :D ##### Owen C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Bruce T.
