Summary: This was the perfect house for a fall getaway. The house was as listed. The property was beautiful, lots to do outside…hammocks, outdoor games and a fire pit. The property has all the amenities you would need like toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen items and toiletries. Communication with Hana was wonderful. Would definitely recommend staying here.
