This was the cleanest VRBO I've eever stayed at. Communication with the property owners was excellent & immediate. It was well appointed with everything you would need for an extended stay. Within a quick drive from everything, but, private setting in the country just outside of Inverness. Would highly recommend.

Donnie and Ellie were great hosts. They were very communicative and available when we needed assistance. We only had a minor issue finding the house and ended up at the neighbor's house instead. The instructions were not very clear. I believe putting exact coordinates on the GPS would be more helpful.

We love the location of this home, it enabled us to have short trips to enjoy all of Inverness both downtown and some of the outlying areas. North Kessock was absolutely wonderful. We ate dinner there as well as breakfast and highly recommend both.

Just minutes from Inverness this property was an excellent location to explore the area and we loved that it was a converted school in quiet setting. We stayed in the two bedroom suite and found it to be spacious, comfortable and the amenities thoughtfully designed. I would highly recommend staying at this property!
