I was a cozy little boat. Wish I could have stayed when I wasn’t working in the area, but I enjoyed the peace and quiet. The communication with the host was top notch.

Stay was unpleasant , inconvenient .Basic restroom and kitchen was not functional

Bathroom had flushing issues, did not work at all . Kitchen stove did not work . No lights outdoor for grill . Issues were fixed by Jennifer next day promptly but still we felt inconvenience . Based on listing it says 6 people accommodation , not for young kids and senior citizen and too small and not comfortable.

We had a great stay! The property is so cute and check in was really easy. I deducted a star for the comfort of the beds. Both beds were incredibly uncomfortable. The bed upstairs slants into the middle and is very soft. The bed downstairs is thin to fit in the space.

Unique stay

Property was as described. This is a unique stay for the under 55 crowd. The place was clean. Hot water and pressure was great. Think tiny house and be reasonable with expectations and it was a cute stay. We enjoyed the upper deck sitting area in the mornings.
