The house, grounds and location were perfect for our weekend getaway. The house is beautiful, nicely, furnished and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed a cappuccino with breakfast, eating on the deck and soaking in the hot tub. The surroundings are lovely. The location is convenient to restaurants and shopping of all kinds. It is also a very easy location to access. Brenda, our host, anticipated our needs and was very responsive to our emails.
