Suited our family stay perfectly. ##### Dyanne G. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew K. 5 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet and Roomy The location is great, it does have a pretty great view, and it is very quiet. It is still a neighborhood; it is technically rural but other houses are pretty close and still in view in most directions. It is at the end of the road and one of most private spots in the neighborhood. Would be good for a larger group or multiple adults. There is a bit of a pretentious feel to the place in spite of some things not being as high end as put on. The hot water for showers can run out with back to back showers even with only a few people trying to be fairly quick. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and would recommend it. ##### Matthew K.
