“Great stay, so stylish, loved the hot tub, nice touches w tea in the kitchen & nice mugs. Good check in & check out instructions. Local area is fabulous, lots of great places for eating & drinking - and of course, hiking outdoors”
“These hosts are top notch. Well thought out amenities. Responsive hosts and messages, we ate in most nights and found the pots and pans and a hot kettle and coffee pot. All the essentials and they put tasteful, zen themed touches throughout the decor. As an AirBnB host myself, I thought it was very well done 👍🏻”
