Thank you very much for your kind words, we really appreciate it! We are very happy you enjoyed your stay, you were fantastic guests and left the place just like you found it (and then some!!). We would love to host you again if you are ever in need in the future! Best regards, Dave & Linda.

The property is fantastic. Everything you could possibly need is there. The welcome basket of goodies and drinks was very nice to have as we checked in late after a long day. A big thank you to our host.

I don’t even know where to begin. This was more like a pampered elite stay than your average short term rental. From the luxuriously comfortable mattresses, the luxe towels and bed linens, toiletries, welcome basket, and more, - everything far exceeded expectations. Exceptional hosts as well. Very friendly and quick to respond. Great local recommendations. Very thoughtful touches throughout and lovely decor. Super clean and comfortable. We highly recommend and would most certainly stay again. We travel very often and have stayed in hundreds of places; very few meet this level of comfort, cleanliness and convenience.

This was a beautiful little home to stay in. Everything was fresh and clean. Amenities were top notch and very well thought out. We used the king bed and the bedding was fabulous. The towels and shower amenities were better than home! We shall plan to stay a week next summer as it was such a pleasant experience!
