Host was very accommodating very kind. House was BEAUTIFUL with some minor fixes necessary in the upstairs bathroom. Beds were so comfortable no complaints. Outdoor areas of the house were fabulous for gathering. House is a little far from downtown area (maybe 20 minute drive or so) but the neighborhood was wonderful and we felt very comfortable and safe. We made lots or memories in this home and not one complaint except we needed more bathrooms! :-) We would go back here without question. THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL STAY.
