Aug 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful country home The house and grounds of the property are beautiful! House is tastefully decorated and the gardens are stunning. Hosts are friendly and available to answer questions. Guests should be aware that there are tenants in the basement, but there is a separate entrance and no interaction. We especially appreciated the binder with instructions for appliances and menus etc to local restaurants. Plus the kind invitation to help ourselves to fresh eggs from the chickens and veggies from the grounds! Highly recommended. ##### Dana S.
