The house itself is beautiful, and the yard is wonderful. However, the house is very hard to find. It’s up a very long unmarked gravel driveway, and the house number is out of order compared to the neighbor. Once we arrived, the trash cans on the patio were completely overflowing and rotting. The smell was intense—even in the rain. The beds are comfy, but incredibly high. I would not recommend if you have mobility issues. They only respond if you text or call them outside the app, which makes me nervous. I had to ask multiple times for the wifi, to be told it’s in the info packet in the house—there was none. He did come and fix the trash issue right away, but that truthfully should’ve already been done days ago. He was responsive via text and call, but not on the app. The house also has flaws—half the stove burners didn’t work, no plug for the tub, and there was a new railing and supplies (screws, handle, wood putty) just sitting on the ground.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The house was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. It had everything we needed, and the attention to detail made us feel right at home. The location was perfect, and the host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would gladly book this home again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!
