Great Family Venue
Everything was well stocked (dishes, pots, pans and even toilet paper, paper towels, and bath towels.) Oven on main level was a bit confusing but someone from our group figured it out. Only downside was the microwaves were a bit small. Overall it was the best rental for the money. Will definitely consider staying again.

Nice getaway
This was a nice little get away in a small friendly little town. Was just looking to get away for a bit and enjoyed this. While the home was a little outdated, it was still warm and friendly. The pub in town served a huge ad fantastic meal. If you are looking to get away for a bit and have some 'me' time, I would say this is a nice spot to do it.

Accurate Listing
This house worked great for our family while visiting in the area. It is as advertised, not a new house but nice & clean. Everything in the house worked great. The only negative is, we stayed in the winter time & there was no humidifier & the hot air heat resulted in very dry air. We would definitely stay again.
