We enjoyed our stay here very much. The hosts were excellent to work with, the location was fantastic, and the house was very clean and as advertised. We would stay here again.

Needs some improvement.

The location of the property was great. The description was accurate, but when I did send a message to the owners about the bedrooms, they never got back to me. I let it be. I wished I pursued it more. If you are short, they were fine. My husband is 6'4 and my son-in law is 6'2. Pretty hard to stay in dormered rooms without closets. Just saying. I guess that is the reason I never heard back. The home was not as clean as expected considering a cleaning fee is added to the reservation. I did call for new shower curtains since the one was full of mold and the other was moldy at the bottom. There were no wash clothes to use in the shower and no hot pads or dish towels. Very disappointing.
