Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy H. 2 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Brief but nice The house is in pretty good condition, the usual wear and tear for a house this age is to be expected though. The outdoor setting was great, very large with a second BBQ but the area itself needed a bit of tlc. The house has a few things that aren't listed too, like WIFI and a Google Chromecast. The location itself is brilliant, you would pay twice the price and not really bat an eye considering. Would stay here again, but only for a couples getaway. As the nightlife in Victor is very dull IMO. Overall a great stay if you are looking for somewhere with a nice view and some quiet time away from the city. ##### Timothy H.
