We had a nice stay and the unit was clean. Everything you need is provided by the owners. It is definitely sized for a couple on a getaway. If you like to spread out while on vacation you may want something a little bigger. Other than that, we would be back.

Perfect oasis for two. The view from the living room feels like you are camping and the room feels like you get to sleep under the stars. A great place to unwind. The updated kitchen had the extras of utensils and equipment ( food processor, blender, toaster, etc ) and spices and containers. A nice relaxing getaway close to outdoor adventures. Plus the hosts were incredibly easy to communicate with, they really made our stay a great one!
