Bathrooms and kitchen were perfect. The property was in excellent condition and the docks were great for our water toys. Everything was perfect for our stay.

Wonderful house, spacious, beautifully decorated with a well appointed kitchen. Beds were comfy. Loved the deck and gardens. Dock was perfect for our 28ft boat. Plenty of parking.
Get location to town and the local festival! Canal access to the water was very convenient and spent a lot of time on the boat and the house was great to come back to after along day on the water!
