The place was great for our family to stay for a wedding. The only complaint is the driveway is a little steep. Host was wonderful to communicate with. Definitely would use again if needed.
The house was beautiful and accommodated my family well! Very comfortable! The listing did say two bathrooms and two half baths when I booked, but there is only two full baths. It didn't cause any issues, though. The host is very communitive and sent daily messages! We really enjoyed our stay!
