The listing was accurate and the property was clean and well maintained. It is a bit of a quirky layout, but still quite functional. We enjoyed our stay.

Overall, the house was amazing. The beds were quite comfortable. The atmosphere was amazing. The only thing, for me, was that I was unable to draw the curtains in the master bedroom. But, we found a work around. It was a great stay!
