We stayed here for 4th of July and spent the weekend with friends! Host was very communicative and the house was clean and the perfect location for us! Would highly recommend. It was nice being able to use the grill and hang out in the screened space on the first level. *Beware of the mosquitos! Definitely bring bug spray.
