We chose this home for a family getaway with my elderly mother (she can still climb stairs), sister, and brother-in-law. We all loved everything about the house: the location; cleanliness; layout; comfort of the furniture and beds; lush linens; beautiful updates and other amenities. It was an extremely pleasant and comfortable place to stay. We had easy access to everything and we all rested well at the end of the day. Our hosts were kind and responded very quickly to questions. We loved it and hope to vacation there again. ##### Claire O. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025
