The host was extremely organized and sent me several messages ahead of time with all the info I needed for my stay. The place was super clean, tastefully decorated, and furnished with everything I needed for my short stay. I had my dog with me, and she had a nice yard area out front to stretch her legs. I was just passing through for one night but would love to come back for a getaway weekend with my husband to enjoy more what the property and surrounding area have to offer.
