Monica was such a welcoming and helpful hostess! Appreciated the welcome gift we received the first evening we arrived. We really enjoyed the cozy home. It was so roomy for our family. Loved the decor and the great location to local attractions and wonderful restaurants. Looking forward to our next trip, hoping to book here once again!
