Reviews

My 3 friends and I spent three nights here and loved it. The decor is perfect for the environment and the views are breathtaking. I loved that the light switches were labeled! It's a small thing but it was appreciated. The kitchen was well appointed as were the bedrooms and baths. I'm pickier than most but I was surprised to see that the kitchen appliances were not clean. There were also fingerprints on the windows and door. It was a quick fix so it wasn't a big deal, but a place so beautiful deserved to be clean. Also, we couldn't get the fireplace to work- and we really wanted to use it. We called and were told someone would come the next day, but no one came. Our rental fee was reduced by $60, which was a nice gesture, but I wouldn't count on "24 hour service". We loved this place and hope to return!
