Summary: Lovely place! Exactly as described and very nice. Didn’t have to message the host once! Small warning: the house does not have AC. We went in the fall, so it wasn’t too bad, but I’d imagine that it could get brutal during the summertime. Overall, fantastic experience and a wonderful place with a beautiful view.
