We were all in awe of the beautiful views as soon as we walked in. Our girls loved the welcome snacks left by the host . The host was always easy to reach from the time we booked til our checkout time. There were minor hiccups. A couple of spider webs when exiting the living room sliding door to go to the deck. Spider webs & spider under patio table so we didn’t use it. The fridge water filter needed to be changed. The host did offer to bring one the next day but our party brought more water bottles for our short stay instead. The first floor outside fireplace near the swings wasn’t working using the switch. We did get further instructions on how to turn it on but had no success. We just wanted it on for pictures and ambience so we gave up. We did take advantage of the community indoor pool when it was raining and enjoyed the outdoor pool when the weather permitted. Overall, our favorite spot was our own private hot tub surrounded by a stunning view. Despite the minor hiccups mentioned, I would still book at the Mercantile again. The pictures don’t do it justice.
