The house was cleaned and comfortable. I was a bit skeptical at first because it’s pet friendly place. However, we were not disappointed at all. The place just big enough and not breaking our budget. We got to play in the snow and witness the beauty of snow falling and white soft snow everywhere. The host Amanda was quick to respond to my question and request. This place is fully stocked with games, puzzles, movies etc.. plenty of pots and pans for cooking and silverwares for the family to use. My only regret is not staying one more night. Will definitely return again. Thank you Amanda for your accommodation and hosting us. ##### Elizabeth C.
