We enjoyed the house it was clean and beautiful. The only thing is all the stairs. At 65 we had a tough time. Nice location. And Cathrine was up to date on getting us all the check in information. Very dependable her and her husband ! We would stay again if it wasn’t for the stairs! But we truely enjoyed our weekend.
