Keeping Wilmington Weird Fest

Property was exactly as stated. Very cute, tucked back off the main road. Decor was so cute, cow theme, adorable! Clean, clean, clean, did I mention CLEAN! Parking too! Very quiet. The hosts provide a ton of extras, snacks, bottled water, tons of toiletries, games, streaming networks. Fully stocked kitchenette for anything you might need. Bed super comfy and linens were extra nice! Hosts are available for anything needed, but provide privacy if not needed. Great stay! Highly recommend this place and I’ll be back for future stays! Great little place with great hosts!
