The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house overall was very nice, clean and comfortable with good amenities. The staff ...very helpful and always available to speak with. The reason we couldn't give this property 5 stars is because it backs up to the main road and the road noise is constant. If you are noise sensitive this might be a concern. ##### DIANE M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Heike H. 23 Aug 2025 #### Nice, well maintained house Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and grounds were exactly as described. The house was well appointed and immaculately clean. Everything was provided, like tissues, toiletries and nightlights. The people at Sanctuary Vacation Rentals went above and beyond making us feel welcome and comfortable, from the calls before and after check in to the welcome crackers, cheese and wine. We could walk to downtown in less than 15 minutes, although the walk is a bit awkward along the roads without sidewalks. There is a BBQ and outdoor furniture on the deck, and adirondack chairs in the back yard. The yard is unfortunately not completely fenced in, which would have made our stay with our dog nicer. The house is located on a quiet cul de sac, but the property borders on a busy road in the back. It was not an issue for those in our group who live in a city, but the road noise was bothersome for me. ##### Heike H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric S. 7 Jul 2025 ##### Eric S.
