Very nice stay. Space was very comfortable and well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Host was great. Went out of the way to provide a dryer that had died right before we arrived. Super appreciated since it was the first stop for us on a longer trip. Would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to stay again if in the area.

The house was nice but we were not prepared to share the back yard and driveway with a stranger. The furniture was all very beautiful but very uncomfortable to sit in. Not a good area to sit and watch TV or chat. Kitchen and bathroom both very well stocked. Washer and dryer was nice to have, as well as plenty of bathrooms.

Thank you for sharing your feedback — I really appreciate it. I’m glad you enjoyed the cleanliness, stocked amenities, and overall setup of the home. I’m sorry to hear about the shared outdoor space and comfort of the furniture not meeting your expectations. I’ll definitely take this into account to make future stays even more comfortable. I truly appreciate you staying with us and hope to have the opportunity to host you again with an improved experience.
