Had a great stay at the Whelk! Hosts were great with communication for entry and also giving a heads up for some potential road closures due to a big storm. The location was very convenient, and the house was well stocked and maintained. The little fenced in area in the back was perfect for our dog to have some space to sniff around off leash. The macarons left for us were a lovely touch!
