    Amazing property and communication but dirty
    Loved the property. The views are gorgeous and it’s remote without travelling too far. Amazing communication from the owner and she was very flexible. Can’t give it five stars on account of how dirty it was though. Grime and dirt and I am unclear what we paid a cleaning fee for. The kids and us also had bites despite not seeing a single mosquito or sanfly so are suspecting the place has fleas.
