By far the best local getaway we’ve had. The place was spotless, and we were amazed by the appliances on offer. The hot tub was why we booked and it did not disappoint. We’ve paid much more for much less. Can’t recommend enough. Host was very friendly, and accommodating. Self check-in was a great addition. We will certainly be back in the future.
