Everything true to listing. Friendly and prompt responses from the owners. Calm and beautiful location. Only cons were a small step between the kitchen and bedrooms resulted in a few toe injuries, and you're expected to clean despite the cleaning fee. Overall a great experience with lovely people. ##### Buttercup P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shirley C.
