Elegant interior. Sunset views. Walk to town. Professional kitchen. Pet friendly

10/10 Excellent
"The house is exceptional - elegant as described, with beautiful touches everywhere you look. We loved all of the spaces and enjoyed the fireplace given the cold weather outside.The view is spectacular, and the house has great outdoor spaces as well. The kitchen is very well equipped. The proximity to town cannot be beat. We would love to experience this property at different times of year - it should be spectacular in the summer and fall. The house worked great for our family group of seven. Highly recommend."
