Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property was spacious for all of our family and dogs. It was neatly decorated and perfect for what we needed. The host was great to work with and very responsive to my questions. The driveway to the property was very rough, even in a 4x4 truck. There is a large flight of stairs up to the rental which would prove tricky for older people and young children. The pool was unusable as the water was green. The well-water had a funky smell, but the host provided usable water. Overall, it was a good stay.
