Super generous and kind hosts. Hot tub was free to heat. House was even more gorgeous than the pictures (which I thought wasn’t possible!). Kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Absolutely exceeded my expectations.

We absolutely loved the vibe of this home. Each room was decorated beautifully and was so inviting. All the essentials were available plus more! The views were amazing and one of the main reasons we ended up booking this property. As much as I loved this home, I probably would not choose to stay again for a couple of reasons . The first being the temperature in the bedrooms. Upon arrival the temperature in the home was 81, the living and kitchen areas quickly cooled however all 3 bedrooms remained uncomfortably warm, which was a direct result of the very minimal air flow coming from the vents. We did everything the host suggested as far as puting the ceiling fans on and even putting a floor fan in the hall pointing back towards the rooms. Nothing really worked. I ended up sleeping in the living room on the couch for relief since it was the coolest place in the house. So if you’re someone who needs your room to be cool to sleep, this would not be an ideal situation! The second reason was the house accessibility. The home is located on unpaved roads, which normally would not be issue, however the dirt road itself is rather rough with lots of ruts and drastic uneven areas. To get there you also have to pass through a dip in the road which crosses directly through a flood channel. Again, normally this would not be an issue except for the weekend we were here there was a major storm, which caused some anxiety on how we would be able to leave and the conditions of the roads.
