Perfect place!
This was a fantastic house. It had everything we could want to make us feel right at home. Just a short drive into town. The beds were so comfy. Everything looks brand new. The best part was our host. She went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we are in town.
