9/10 Wonderful! (15 reviews)

"The property was nice and clean on the inside but definitely not on the porch and the little seating area outside. Also very poor lighting in one if the bedrooms... No lamp to read by in bed. Could also use a new coffee pot. It took 50 minutes to brew a pot. We did enjoy how quiet it was and close ..."
