It’s a great house if you have a large party. It worked well for what we needed.

Wonderful place for family get together. Plenty of space. Clean and comfortable. Spacious yard and the calming sounds of a pond fountain right by the back patio. Definitely recommend

The home itself was beautiful, clean, and looked just like the photos, which is why this review is difficult to write. However, our experience with the host and lack of transparency was extremely disappointing.One major issue was that there was someone staying in the guest house on the property during our stay, which was never disclosed anywhere in the listing before booking. We only found out after check-in through the guest book/house information. Had this been clearly stated upfront, we may have chosen a different property, as privacy was important to us.Communication from the host also left a lot to be desired, and several important details about the property were not disclosed until the day of check-in. While the house itself deserves praise, the hosting experience did not match the expectations set by the listing.Overall: beautiful property, but poor transparency and communication made the stay uncomfortable and frustrating.
