Amazing and beautiful walk out basement apartment of the host’s home above. Great nature and water views from a high vantage point. Very well stocked with all the necessities and lots of fun extras: replacement toiletries if forgotten, creamer and some staples in the fridge, a few days of coffee and 3 types of coffee makers to suit your preference (K-cup, drip and french press). Lovely spot to relax and recharge in. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful home, exceptionally clean and organized with all the essentials and more. Incredibly peaceful, gorgeous scenery. The hosts were very responsive to the questions we had, which weren’t many because everything was explained so well. Even better than the pictures showed, very spacious and cozy. Thank you, Carrie and Matt!
