What a wonderful get-away! Everything we could possibly need was provided. The space was clean, well organized and inviting. Host even provided a goodie bag and the ingredients for s'mores over the backyard fire pit. Trails surrounding the house were great for our dogs (2). They begged to go on walks (usually have an aversion to walks at home). They explored and explored. High recommendations for this property and would love to rent again!
