It was a very quaint place to stay. Super quiet, besides for the local wildlife (kokee frog chirp, birds ect). Which was lovely. The hostess was very nice. There was a miscommunication between her and her partner about the reservation. I would recommend that they update the description to get to the house. Google Maps tried to route me through the neighbor’s property. It was 4 driveways before the VRBO. I’d stay there again.

Better than staying at a hotel. Rather unusual that there was no outside door--just a screen door for the laundry room.
