We used this house for a family get away and it was wonderful. The host was prompt when I messaged her with a question. The ping pong table was a lot of fun if you are just playing for fun. The table is warped a bit. A nice 10 minute walk into town for breakfast or coffee. Nice neighborhood. The house has a lot of room. Only thing…if you are a light sleeper the trains might keep you up at night. Half our group didn’t hear them and half were woken up several times in the night. All in all it was great. My teenage daughter said she’d like to stay again.

This house was perfect for us! The neighborhood was great for morning walks and was very quaint. The house is decorated beautifully and had all the space we needed. My kids enjoyed playing in the big backyard and the outdoor seating areas were wonderful! The house was very clean. The only thing that could be improved on was that it looked like someone had let their pet do its business on some of the decking and didn’t clean up after them. That being said there was no evidence of pet messes inside the house.
When we visit again next year we will definitely check to see if this house is available!
