The manager, Katy, was outstanding and was very responsive to our needs. We did have two suggestions that might improve the stay. Our group included some elderly adults with balance and walking issues. The backyard had some lovely but for seniors challenging natural stones steps that were hard to navigate. Handrails would be helpful. Also the back patio would have been improved with a screened area to control the fruit flies. Overall this was an excellent experience for our family. ##### Donald W.
