June 2025 Stay

We enjoyed our stay here—the location was great and made getting around super convenient. The property itself has a lot of charm and potential, with a nice layout and cozy touches. That said, the interior felt a bit cluttered in some areas, and the cleanliness could have been more thorough. It’s also worth noting that the space might not be the best fit for families with younger kids due to the amount of decor and tighter layout in the Boat House. Still, we had a comfortable stay overall and appreciated the host’s responsiveness.
