"The property is very comfortable and of a very high standard and the location is excellent. We enjoyed our stay with only one slight negative being the directions info (provided by hotels.com) was not accurate. I think we were missing some of the email message text. However, a call to the owner quickly resolved that and we had a lovely stay. Would highly recommend."

"Great host, excellent rental with amazing view! Rented through Expedia, but it was a VRBO property, run by Cottages.com. That caused confusion with payment and communication. Highly recommend renting this property but doing so directly."
