Amazing views and Hosts

Nick and David were amazing hosts. They were easy to get in contact with when I had questions. The house is beautiful and so are the views. They even had things for both infants and dogs, which meant less things for us to have to bring. We fit 6 adults, 2 infants and 1 dog and still had plenty of space to not feel cramped. It's the perfect place to bring your family!

Just what we needed

This was a beautiful home that was very dog and infant friendly. The communication from the owners was amazing and we had all we needed. We could tell we were one of the first to stay here but it truly was a great spot for us. We did family putt putt and it was a nice location to get some time away from the madness. The kitchen does have great appliances but I would suggest an upgrade on some items/utensils before calling it a cook’s dream. We did all of our cooking for the stay and had to get some additional knives and a drain catcher for the sink (no disposal). These were minor and only things that could change to improve the experience but didn’t make us regret our decision at all. We have already discussed returning to stay again!
