Check in was very simple. Kitchen was fully stocked with more than enough flatware, stoneware, stemware, pots, pans, cooking utensils, you name it, it is most likely there. The entire place was clean, felt like home. We all brought bins full of stuff due to past VRBO experiences, we hardly had to dig into them. Only needed ziploc bags for storage, other than that, they've got it covered. Beautiful place perfect for a small gathering of friends or a quick little family get away.
