Clean and comfortable. Great location. Easy to get to shopping, gas and local activities. Sitting on the deck felt very private and relaxing. My wife and I enjoyed the getaway. We look forward to renting again in future.

Although we did not bring any pets, it was nice to see pets were welcome and they had everything pet ready, including a leash. The house was clean and had everything available for use. The area was peaceful, but also not to far from the city.
