We loved staying in the house. The house is very beautiful and we found it very clean. The communication was very responsive and helpful. We loved having an EV charger on site. The backyard provides great opportunity for kids to play while the adults relax

We loved our stay! The home was the perfect size for our large group and our kids loved the awesome outdoor “obstacle course”. We made two great meals in the big kitchen and overall really enjoyed our stay.

This is a very nice property that has a lot of things to do for kids and families. It is very spacious and has a lot of light. The neigborhood is very quiet and pleasant. Even though the house is great it could be in better conditions. Some of the furniture (sofas and beds) and carpets look dirty, there were some broken chairs at the dining table, and two of the showers didn’t work properly (drainage issues). The biggest problem we had is that the house was always cold. Even when the heater and fireplace were turned on the house felt extremely cold, mostly during the night.
