It was a pleasure hosting Irene and her family. Communication was on point and followed house rules. House was left spotless. I would highly recommend to any other host with a 5 star from me. Irene will always be welcomed back home😊

We did not have any pets. I would recommend this property . The location is amazing. The property was clean, well maintained, plenty of supplies. Cory was very available for any questions or concerns. I would rent this property again without hesitation. We have rented in this area for the last six years and this is by far the best place we have rented.
