    Our stay was very nice. The property was just as listed. The home was clean and well stocked upon our arrival. Only suggestion I would make is realizing that you have older guests, and therefor need a grab bar in the shower.

    Three if us had a family reunion to attend nearby and this was a peaceful and restful home for us to sleep in and have coffee in the mornings. It is on a very quiet street of other nice homes. The house has been decorated so well and has top of the line fixtures and amenities. Impressive.
