It was the perfect space for two, was extremely clean, had all the essentials PLUS special, personal touches from the host. They care about this property and it shows. It was easy to find and access, it had amazing views of the bay, and the only noise was the birds. I would stay at this property again if I ever find myself in Bow again. ##### Emily M.

Very comfortable for two. Design of living space, attention to detail in decoration and stocking of unit were really fantastic.
