Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Our host, Ryan, was super responsive and ensured that we had everything we needed for our stay. The house is gorgeous and spacious. Despite not having AC like most homes in the area, each room did include window units which really helped cool the rooms down. Location is great and the hiking trail behind the home is convenient. Would definitely book this home again.
