Great neighborhood; very responsive owner

The neighborhood was great for all 3 generations of our family, ranging from the playground to the hiking trails. The owner was very responsive to our questions and suggestions.

House is beautiful and worked great for the team. I took a star off because we didnt know the ice maker on the fridge didnt work until we had already been there for a day. There was a paper with some notes but it was on the side of the fridge and not noticed right away. The note said the pool would be serviced Wednesday or Thursday but the pool guy showed up on Friday. We were using the pool and the maintenance guy told us we had to get out. With the limited down time available it was a little bothersome. Beyond those minor things, our stay was wonderful.

We absolutely loved this place and love Taylor, the host♥️ It was such a pleasure working with her, and the home was fantastic and beautifully laid out and furnished. There wasn’t anything on the property we did not use. I am definitely going back. Thank you Taylor for making my stay so enjoyable. Hope to see you very soon….
