We had such a wonderful stay! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was friendly and easy to communicate with, and everything we needed was provided. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Unfortunately, there was a ceiling leak in the upstairs bathroom. We were basically informed that we should deal with it by putting out a pot and putting a towel in the pot. We were also informed that there was no HVAC person who could come out to fix it while we were there, although a major city was only about 1hr30minaway. We were told a number of times that someone might come out, but no one did. It is a nice house and there were many nice touches, but this bathroom ceiling drip and the unwillingness to take care of it had a major impact on our stay there. Considering the very high price per night, this lack of responsiveness was very disappointing. Still, as instructed by the owner in the desk book, we took care of the bed and bath linens, placed the garbage and recyclables in the outdoor bins, placed the dishes and utensils in and started the dishwasher, and cleaned every surface we had used. We hope that the leak has been fixed so future guests will not have this experience
