Only problem we had was the shower head would not stay up, shower door doesn’t close properly. No instructions on how to work the tv. No night lights. No lables on the light switches. Lamp in main bedroom had to be plugged in to work and removed to turn off. On off switch. But over all the place was spotless, comfortable and the owner Chantale responded in a timely matter and well equipped. Added plus was the washer and dryer… ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carla P.
