clean and cute property for a festival weekend. more than enough space, good amenities, comfortable. we loved the mud room or whatever it’s called. i will say it kinda smelled funny, like smoke or something. i would recommend air fresheners or candles for guests with sensitive senses of smell like me.

The host was available as needed to answer questions or help. The stay was perfect for our needs. Although we did not bring our furbabies, I appreciate that this host is ready and willing to accommodate them!
