Beautiful home and great location

Owners are very involved with the checkin process, asked many personal questions leading up to the stay and were often on the property without notice during our stay. Some people like this level of attention but we found this a bit much. They also threatened to charge us extra fees which came as a shock. Otherwise they were very helpful to accomodate our little one, and this is a great house and location for a family holiday!

Very nice vacation house

Property was very nice, property manager really friendly and helpfull. Vrbo app being the only issue, as second part payment wasn’t transfered as expected and no notification about this issue fra Vrbo. So we had to handle that at check-in, which could have caused us to lose the booking.

Beautiful, spacious home, very clean, near heart of city

We had a lovely stay at the home. Our communication with the owners/hosts were great. They live down the street, which was nice. They greeted us at the home, gave us a tour, history of how the house was built and recommendations for things in town. They house was immaculate and felt like it was brand new. there were three bedrooms, which was great as each of our teenagers had their own bed and Ben room. There is no air conditioner, which we knew, but when we opened the windows to get some cool air, it was pretty noisy. That would be the only negative that we have about the house. Everything else was fantastic and would highly recommend staying there.
