Fantastic accommodation in the heart of town

My family and I had a great stay at dark skies. The house is in a great location, easily accessible and has great amenities. The house was exceptionally clean and outfitted with everything you need for your stay, including great resources on things to do in the area. The yard is large and secure so no issues leaving your dog there. Highly recommend this listing to anyone looking for accommodation in Coona.
