Awesome place to stay, kudos to the host who made made our stay so lovely by frequently checking on us, this is one of the few air bnbs we have stayed out of our country where the host actually came down and gave us a surprise visit to check on us if everything was ok, always picks up our call and replies our message on air bnb on our queries. Sally, we loved your house, your toys and reading material for our kids, everything in your home was great and the trickling snow outside made it all the more memorable, your directions to your place was also spot on and easy to follow! I would recommend this host and her house to anyone at any given time without a single hesitation or doubt!

Ross was so lovely to us, we arrived late and he was ready to go when we got there and he was even able to suggest some yummy food places around the corner for dinner.
