This is the best VRBO I have stayed it. It is VERY clean and organized. I loved not having to pack the shampoo! Very quiet street, easy to find. The owner's communication has surpassed anything I have had before with other owners. She is kind and very responsive. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to cook a lovely meal. I will stay here again for sure!!!!
We stayed at Stefania's place for our son's graduation. It was exactly as described and she was outstanding with communication. We had a power outage on our last evening and she even went out of her way to make sure we had light and power to charge our devices. I can't say enough about the property or the host. Would highly recommend!
I had such a wonderful time! Daisy, my dog, had a blast with the squirrels and all the cats I think I counted up to 6! The place is gorgeous and very tranquil. I actually enjoyed myself. I will hopefully be back in the future!
