Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
People home & place to stay my young children enjoyed the pleasure of being in such a big home. The space outside as well as inside made if perfect for our small family gathering. Host is amazing and great communication. You can’t go wrong with a beautiful secluded farm/ pond house with all the space you need to breath away from the city
