I rented this property after an extensive search on VRBO to host 14 family members from around the country for a surprise 75th birthday celebration for my husband. Four siblings stayed in the main house while we stayed in the cottage with our dog, Ringo. Both properties were spotless. As a special bonus, both the main house and cottage had a Christmas tree--beautifully decorated--for the season. The cottage had a small but well-equipped kitchen--including a full-sized refrigerator and a range--while the main house had a wonderful, very well stocked kitchen. As I had hoped, the property became the gathering place for the family staying on site as well as those who rented elsewhere. The kitchen was a great place to cook and the large island was excellent for laying out buffets for the crowd. The back patio had a nice fire pit and seating. All of the beds were top notch and everyone reported great sleep. Baths were also well stocked and lovely. As an older property, it had some quirks but overall the renovation is very well done. We could walk to all of the Nights of Lights activities and there was plenty of parking for our cars. The property managers were responsive and helpful before and during the stay. Having stayed in many short-term rentals, I can easily say this was the best ever--wish all properties were this nice and the owners/managers this supportive.
