House was great. Rooms spacious and clean. Everything you needed was there. Loved the patio, sitting out there for coffee etc and the view. There was only one thing that I didn't like and it was the driveway. Quite steep. And quite hilly when walking my dog but that was me. Highly recommend and communication was great with the host. ##### Jan P. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corinne R. 23 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous Encounter! This is a terrific home with wonderfully luxurious king size beds in two rooms! The backyard was lovely to sit in and look out across the fields. It is incredibly well located just outside the chaos of Victor but close enough to feel part of things. The kitchen was well appointed and well stocked. There were lovely touches like spare toothbrushes and the loungeroom is a lovely communal family space. The driveway is a challenge but not insurmountable (unless you have mobility issues). We loved Whalers restaurant - amazing views and terrific food, great service too! We would love to come back. ##### Corinne R.
