What Our Guests say 500 + Reviews

Jan 29, 2026 07:01:39 AM
Summary: Delightful experience. Great location. Host was accomodating. The stairs were a challenge for us, but we're old, yet still active. The deck would benefit from attention (support post and furnishings). Pleased with heating and cooling as the temperatures during our 1 week stay ranged from 86 to 35. Overall a good stay.
