"Monica was very accommodating to us with allowing an early check in. The house had everything we needed for our 2-night stay. She was very prompt with responses to our questions. It was also a nice touch that they provided farm fresh eggs. If I had any flaw to point out it would be that the bedroom curtains do not close all the way and that would have been nice, but other than that, very nice place to stay!"

"The home was lovely and very well equipped. We enjoyed our stay. However, the hot tub is false advertising. We were excited to enjoy this amenity, but sadly it was not filled. We messaged the host about this and didn’t hear anything back, which was disappointing. A simple explanation or brief apology would have been appreciated. The hot tub should not be featured so prominently in the listing. "
