Reviews
Lydia
Such a beautiful home with the most spectacular views! The home was exactly as described and matched the pictures. All the beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were perfect! We were also pleasantly surprised with the heated floors in the master bathroom! You would definitely want to pay close attention to the instructions provided, as GPS doesn't take you straight to the house. However the instructions to get there were very accurate. The hot tub was also amazing! We did have a small maintenance issue, but the host was very responsive in getting it fixed.

All properties are set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a starter kit of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, bathroom toiletries, laundry detergent, and garbage bags. It’s enough for one or two nights, but will likely not be enough to get you through your entire stay. If you are staying for an extended length of time, you should plan to bring some supplies from home or plan to purchase these items at a grocery store when you arrive.
Homes are not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items including plastic wrap or foil. Our homes come equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crock pots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item it is best to bring that from your home.
We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on-site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.
