Great accommodations. Only 2 small recommendations. Leave more toilet paper, and remind guests that raccoons can open car doors. We had 2 of our cars broken into by the varmints and made a horrible mess!

House was great and just as pictured! The only 2 things I would say is the driveway was super steep and wifi internet service was choppy. Otherwise comfortable and close to all attractions.
