Adorable little cabin
It was an incredibly smooth check-in process and the host went out of their way to ensure the house was fully stocked with amenities and made sure we had everything we needed.

Has thought of everything
This place is so thoughtfully stocked that the only thing we thought could make it better was a personal chef falling out of the fridge every time you opened it. Failing that, this host has made a comfy, cozy vrbo that was just as described. Book with confidence!
