We truly enjoyed this well-kept, clean house with beautiful back yard. Plenty of room to spread out, full kitchen, large dining room, and living room for gathering together when you feel like it. Yet the place is large enough to retire to separate areas for privacy. Would have liked access to some hangers or drawer space for clothing but other than that - it was truly delightful! Beds were comfortable, and the location was just on the edge of town and down the road from a cafe where the locals hang out. Truly comfortable and private. Would definitely consider staying here again if in the area. Hosts were easy to reach and very responsive for a breezy check-in. Many thanks! ##### Lisa H.
