The house was ok it served it's purpose we where a way from people and noise and still close enough to have fun.. Just wish there was better views out side
Jodi A. | Jul 2025
Wonderful property, great location and views. The kitchen was one of the best stocked (cookware, flatware, etc.) kitchens (with basics) I have ever experienced in a short-term rental.
