Has just about everything you need! The owners communicated quickly. The only thing I would suggest is if you aren’t use to sleep with no AC, bring you own fan. There are two fan in the house or you can sleep with the windows open. I’d highly recommend staying here! It reminded me of a house I grow up in. ##### Samantha V. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ---
