Great location and very clean. Need more light outside, one of the bulbs is burnt out and you can't see the door code key at night without ia flashlight, could use hand towels and floor mats in the bathrooms also more then 1 kitchen towel. Floor mat in the entrance would be useful as it was raining and we kept tracking im water.

Lovely property. Very clean. Small amenities like shampoo, dish soap, sponge, etc were nice. When we had no hot water the first morning, they were very helpful. Just a couple of things that other guests might want to know. Couch only seats 2-3 people and no other comfortable chairs inside. Driveway is extremely narrow. Had to pull into street to get people and luggage into and out of the car. None of that affects our rating. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!
