We really enjoyed our stay at this rental. We were here 2 weeks lending support to family in the area. The host was super quick to respond to any messages. The home is spacious and the area very quiet. Family members came and went during our stay, and we appreciated all the parking available, not to mention EV charging. I would stay here again, and do not hesitate to recommend to others.
