9.6/10 Exceptional! (71 reviews)
"The place was OK. It wasn't the easiest place to stay with the owner living at the house behind and coming over a few times, it didn't feel as private as I like. Didn't use the pool because of the owner living in the house that is at the back of the yard. It didn't feel private enough for me."
