Kerry was an amazing host always checking in was aware that I would be in late and heated the home up I assume it was so

Absolutely no issues whatsoever ! I love that there was a lot of space , and very comfortable and very homely , friendly area AND the shower pressure is AMAAAZING

There’s nothing wrong. I can say that with my whole chest it’s so peaceful here.

Good for four people. Taking our dogs was a must. We enjoyed our time there. Good value.

Good location. Comfortable. Excellent heating. Well appointed with kitchen utensils, et al. We were allowed to take our two dogs. All in all a good stay.

A bit tired and not particularly well maintained but it didn’t spoil our stay. You would have been disappointed if your expectation was a modern home. It met our needs more than adequately.

Would not stay there again

Location , communication from property manager and clean bedding

Very disappointed, the place has not been maintained at all. Very uncomfortable old furniture, lots of things need attention and maintenance In the bedroom you had a choice of electrical blanket or light but then one side of the bed the cords didn’t reach the plug without having to move the bed Overgrown trees in driveway that scratch the car. I could go on, but instead we decided to leave earlier than planned
