Loved our stay here! Very clean and well maintained! Even with 5 adults, we never felt cramped or on top of each other. Set in a beautiful, quiet area. As we were from out of the country, we really appreciated that there was a device set up for USB charging. Hosts always answered questions quickly. An ideal place to stay if you're staying in the area!

Wonderful forest retreat!
We really enjoyed our stay! It was a great location for relaxing at the end of a day of exploration! I loved the creek sound in the backyard and feeling like I was sitting in the forest from the comfort of the sunroom couch!
The space was clean and the beds were comfy! Leone was very helpful prior to check-in to ensure we had all of the details we needed.

Landlords excellent communication...only took one star off for tenant staying in the shed...played loud music and was confrontational with my husband regarding us using the dryer. Place was beautifully located and cleanliness top notch! Would visit again.

Great Apartment
This apartment was the perfect first stop for us after our long flight from the US. Quiet and well equipped. Easy access to town for an evening meal. Jet lag didn't bother us much so we were happy that it was so close to some great hiking and attractions. Communication with the owner was easy and replies were prompt.

Perfect short stay
Well-located and comfy place for a short stay. The queen bed was delicious but I wouldn't recommend the sofa beds for adults - they curl up at the ends making it impossible for a tall person to lie straight. Much better for kids.
A warm and clean home, didn't get to explore the river and meet the eels which was a shame!

Beautiful property
We had a lovely holiday in this property. The accomodation was very comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed and such a beautiful outlook onto the creek! The hosts Leone and Mark we’re very helpful and provided all the information we needed. Only one suggestion which is to put bright tape on the step down to the sun room as it is a bit of a fall hazard.
I would highly recommend this property for a brilliant holiday. Thanks Leone and Mark.

不滿:房源資料準確度
Not an accurate description.
I only book stand-alone properties- whole house, unshared. This was attached with shared walls to a unit next door, one downstairs and a cabin in the back. Photos are very edited and manipulated. Homeowner next door begins VERY loud yard work with banging metals and pressure washing early in the morning on weekends. Broken fixtures and trouble with mold and bugs. Nice folks, but I don’t recommend it and I would not return. I wish them the best and hope they can make the improvements required to bring the space up to par. It could be a nice stay for a family. but not a working professional. The pricing and adverts should reflect that this is not a standalone house. This is a duplex with 2nd rental in basement and 3rd cabin in back of residential neighborhood.

Clean and awesome location
The property was just right for a family of 4. No shortage of facilities. Everything you could think of was available. The sound of the stream behind the property is song to the ears.
Exceptionally clean and newly renovated.
The response from the property managers were excellent too.
