Great place

We enjoyed our stay alot. Nice and peaceful for all of us. We had me and my partner stay with our five pre teen, teenages and we had great time also the dog. Easter egg hunt was the hardest they have ever done. Great hosts and we will be back in summer time to check out the swim spots.

Very unclean

Would have been a great stay if the home was clean. Arrived and the crumbs from the previous person was still on the bench. Could tell the kitchen had not been cleaned down before we arrived or at all. The floors were filthy. We swept the floors ourselves as we had a little one playing on the floor. We would have vacuumed if we had access to one. Floors hadn’t been mopped or properly cleaned for a long time it seemed. Was let down by the cleanliness
