The host was very thoughtful and accommodating! We were traveling over Thanksgiving and they asked if they could confirm any kitchen tools needed to prepare the meal, or anything else needed to make our stay special. She also warned us about some snow on the way and looked out for our safety on the curvy roads during the storm. The house was clean and well appointed for the holiday and even had some Christmas decor to make it festive!
