The property was as described, was very clean and well stocked. It was very comfortable and met all our needs. I would definitely recommend this property and would definitely stay again. The hospitality was greatly ,appreciated.Larry H.
We were very happy with the property, just disappointed that the fireplace did not work. I would suggest removing the fireplace as an amenity on your listing. I specifically look for properties that have a fireplace. The property was very clean and check in was easy. The rate was a little pricey but I am guessing it is because it was a holiday weekend? Thank you!
