We really enjoyed the clean, cleanliness and easy functionality of this particular property. The garden retreat property is a great stay, especially for the price we paid. We have only one recommendation for improvement and that would be to advise the guests of the household needs to be prepared for including paper towels, shampoo, and soap.

We really enjoyed our stay. Love the house. Everything was just perfect. The backyard. The vegetation was awesome. But it was just a little too cold to enjoy that hopefully the next time it won’t be so cold and we can sit out back a little bit more, but the whole place was fabulous.
