We had a king suite....very spacious and nice. Towels were fluffy (not skimpy like some places) and shower pressure was great. Would stay there again.

We had a great experience on our stay.The house was very relaxing and homey. The only feedback is that the dishes and pans were dirty when we took them out to use. We had to wash everything before using them. Everything else was clean and well stocked though.
