Summary: This was a well stocked and appointed home. The host was fantastic and very responsive. The inside of the home was very clean, the beds comfortable, the small touches throughout were perfect for the space. A couple of items to note:Our host was phenomenal. His customer service was spectacular and above and beyond what I had expected.The kitchen and bathrooms have several great products that are stocked throughout. The steam sauna is actually a steam shower in the master bedroom. It is of great quality, but not a sauna in a common space.There is not a hot tub, as listed on the description. There is, however, a 2-person jacuzzi tub in the main floor bathroom.There were coffee and great teas provided for our use. It was so appreciated! In addition, there was a delicious charcuterie board and bottle of wine greeting us upon arrival! It was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by our party!There is so much to do within walking distance. We enjoyed the lake, as well as restaurants and shops in the area. Parking was a breeze. There were two areas in the front, as well as two slots in the back for parking, which is difficult to secure in the area.The only reason that I did not give a full rating on the cleanliness of the property is due to the outside. There are several weeds that need to be sprayed, or pulled, on the back patio and curb. There has been a lot of rain in the area lately, so I understand it might be something that crept up on the property owners.
