Friends getaway

We loved this place! The porch is amazing- fantastic views and plenty of seating. Our group of 8 adults cooked all our meals at the house and ate on the porch. The house is well kept and in a great location.

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Clean and fairly well stocked kitchen. There were no BBQ grill tools but we made do with kitchen metal tongs. The property is pet friendly. The views from the property are breathtakingly beautiful. We loved the dark skies filled with stars at night. Beds were comfortable. The TV situation lacks a lot to be desired as it is upstairs and I was not able to get it to work, however it wasn't missed. There was a well water issue that started one day before we were scheduled to leave. The House started smelling lie rotten eggs so bad we had to check out early. Owner says it is fixed now. I truly hope so because it would be a shame not to stay here again.
