Neil was a great host. He accommodated us with an early check in, made sure we had everything we needed and gave us excellent ideas for restaurants and things to do nearby. His communication with us was excellent and quick. The description of the home was spot on and had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Would definitely come back to stay again. Thank you so much!

It was perfect for our family since we needed three separate rooms. Neil was very responsive and helpful. It was out in the countryside near a lake which was beautiful to walk out to look at.
