The Victorian Bliss was a charming house with great modern updates. The speakeasy and pool table were my families favorite way to end the night. Kapil is a great attentive hosts who went to the next level to ensure we had a great trip.
The amenities were amazing. The house was extremely beautiful, unique, and very clean. The hosts were very responsive and kind. We had a great stay and would love to stay there again. The hot tub, fire pit, and game room were first class as well as the rest of the house.
Lovely home and very well maintained and stocked. We were with family of different ages and there was something for everyone! Kitchen is lovely and had everything we needed. The host communicated extremely well.
