This is a hidden gem. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed during our stay. The house was decorated for Christmas and the hot tub was ready for our use. The host, Ted, responed quickly to emails. The bottom floor was a little cool but the space heaters that were provided kept my famy warm and comfortable. We had no complaints and would book this place again without hesitation.
