Awesome.clean and checked all boxes. This is how you rent a property!

I have rented a couple of times with Steve, and both of his properties have been very nice and fit exactly what I needed. Steve is very responsive and helpful with any questions I have had. He does an amazing job at making his guests feel very welcome, and has a little snack basket for each stay. I will definitely be renting with Steve again!

This place is great. The host is an excellent communicator. Wifi is great. Great water pressure. Great towels. Nice little touch, they had a few little snacks waiting for us. Awesome stay. Will definitely be back if I'm up that way again.
