Highly recommend this house! It is perfectly located and full of everything you could need from towels and detergent to activity and babysitter recommendations. We had a few families all with children staying there and the house fit us well. The kids loved the game room downstairs while the adults loved the large dining table and living area. The host kept in constant contact to make sure we were doing well and even helped return a lost iPad that was accidentally behind in a few days. We hope to return in the future!

Very luxury style stay, felt right at home and the extra details really do make a difference. One of the best vacation homes to stay at. And an added bonus is that there were no issues with heating/cooling the entire home or hot water issues. Very clean, comfortable and host has clearly thought of everything you would need.She was very responsive, replies came within minutes. Outstanding!!
