Everything was as advertised in the property description - rustic character and charm. We really enjoyed the Hillcrest location, comfortable beds and abundance of space for 4 people. We did not use the hot tub so cannot comment on it. The owner was super responsive and accommodating.

Upon arrival, the door code provided did not work. Also, there was a large snake on the property downstairs by the grill area. We had to call management out to take care of it. They sent someone out but by the time they came out, the snake was nowhere to be found. We didn't use the hot tub or the grill area because of it. They offered us 380 but have not received the money as of yet. The traffic noise outside was significant but thankfully you couldn't really hear it while in the house unless you have a window open. Most everything else was pretty good. Overall, noisy property, watch for snakes!
This was the snake.  Non-venemous but 3 feet long!
