We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The listing was very accurate. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, and well stocked. The hot tub, sauna, game room, and fire pit provided our family with lots of fun things to do. The host was so easy to communicate with, making the check in and check out processes very smooth.
