This is a beautiful and comfortable (and very spacious) house. It was the perfect spot for our core group (7 people) and extended group ~20 people for Christmas Eve celebration. The host and property manager are genuinely kind, accommodating, and very responsive. Truly a great rental.

It was a rainy weekend, so we mostly stayed in the building, taking advantage of the 'game room' downstairs. We had one minor issue with the oven, which the local manager took care of promptly.

Beautiful place and great location to gather three generations for Thanksgiving! The kitchen(s) are fully stocked so that preparing our feast(s) went without a hitch. Lots of toys, games and books for the kids (and adults). Owner and house manager were incredibly responsive. Highly recommended!

Even though it rained the whole weekend, we couldn’t ask for a better place to stay at. The gourmet kitchen had everything we could need and more. We used yoga studio for yoga, sound baths and meditation. The house was spacious and its rustic, yet modern vibe, together with art pieces displayed throughout, made it feel so special! Thank you Daniel and Ashley for being patient with me and helping me exceed expectations of all guests that joined me for a wellness retreat at your place. Everyone was comfortable, relaxed, with plenty of privacy if needed. We all can’t wait to be back!
