It was perfect for our family of 3 and our friends who are a family of 4\. Great that we can close the gate to keep the kids in and secure. Apart from a slight hiccup with the security code to get the keys stays had sent (Casey promptly answered her phone to help us out) it was perfect! 100% would stay again or Casey if you want to sell it I’m interested! 😍 ##### Ben C. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew S. 7 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great location very clean Im not 1 to complain but some maintenance really is required. Nothing huge just what ive found that maybe the owner may not know about. 1 sliding door in 2nd living area was off its rail and didn't close Tv in 2nd living area didn't have any tv channels, tried searching channels but nothing Front screen sliding door was off its slide Lamp in room with bunk beds doesn't work Bbq was rank 1 light switch stuck on in top bathroom Light heaters in top bathroom didn't work Gas Hot water ran out Lid on kettle didnt open All these things aren't huge issues but for the price you'd expect things to work and have hot water for your whole stay. Some minor maintenance and this place will be overall a great place. Thanks so much we enjoyed our stay overall ##### Andrew S.
