September 2026

All in all it was a great stay for our friends and dog. Very clean home and host was responsive. Being out in the country there were a lot of bugs so definately would recommend the bug spray in the afternoon. Only a couple of things we were not up to par, towels were very limited for the size of home and the body wash was out in the master so had to buy some, the only other item we didn’t like was the refrigerator didn’t seem to get cold enough even at the highest setting so our meat spoiled and the ice maker was broken. Outside of that the home was beautiful with plenty of room and space and the view was great during the day. Likely wouldn’t stay again but we enjoyed our stay.
