Sep 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy It was a lovely stay and much more spacious than I imagined. Kitchen was well stocked. Older home but plenty of charm and we were there for the location and the solitude so it was just what we were looking for. Hosts were very responsive. It was a little hard to find in the dark so make sure you have your gps set! would stay again if in the area! ##### Megan S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025
