We were so impressed with the clear and thorough communication from our host. It made everything smooth as she was accessible, accommodating to our needs, and friendly. The home was clean, spacious, and well stocked with the essential supplies to get us started. We utilized the hot tub, paddle boards, and game rooms often. There were plenty of cozy areas to gather, relax, eat, or hang out. We would definitely come back for another stay!
