"This house was perfect! Beds were comfortable and linens were nice. It was a perfect location for us because we were visiting family. The waterfalls were beautiful! We picked a terrible time to go because nothing was opened yet (early March), but that was no fault of the home."

"The address was difficult to locate. The facility smelled strongly of disinfectant. There was no salt or pepper in the kitchen. There was no napkins, paper towels and not even a box of kleenex in the bathroom. The owner did provide coffee with the wrong filters when we asked. Bathroom towels were thin.Very different than the other vrbos we have used."
