James was an absolute star of a host—he was kind, professional, responsive, and accommodated any special requests with ease. James made it very easy to check in and out. The welcome packet that James emailed to us a few days beforehand is very organized and detail-oriented, which made the entire stay enjoyable, stress-free, and seamless. Additionally, James was always available if we had any questions, and he checked in on us regularly to make sure everything was going well. The house was immaculate, and exceeded all of our needs and expectations in every way. Everything was spotless, and the views of Crystal lake are gorgeous. We will absolutely stay here again if the need arises, even if it is just for my husband and I. Thank you James for hosting us! ##### Jeanie H.
