"The listing didn’t really represent this quant hideaway. I grew up in this community so it was great visiting and have this place to decompress and chill. Very cute spot, the host was super, asked if I needed anything at the store and he was very available to assist as needed, I had my ex to assist so didn’t need him, but he checked if I needed anything and was available if I did. And the view from the gazebo was my favourite. You will not be disappointed perfect for couples or just friends space is adequate to share two beds, a cute kitchen, and washroom is super cute. Loved it. Great choice and price."
