We really enjoyed staying here! There are huge windows that look into the back yard and the water. It is very large and we had more than enough room. It’s at the end of a cul-de-sac which made it very nice for people stopping to visit with us. Highly recommend

The host made our stay so welcoming. Right down to fresh snicker doodles and a kind note.We were in a very stressful transition of moving from Maine to Ohio, and their place allowed us to warm and comfortable with our dog and have a safe place for her to explore outside. It was also a huge relief to have a safe place for our uhaul cargo trailer to sit while we drove our car to various appointments for closing on our house.Great experience!
