Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had a great large family stay at this property. The house was great, fantastic views, extremely clean and well presented, plenty of fire wood supplied and ready to use. The only negative was the shower pressure was terrible, more like a trickle, but otherwise could not fault the place.
