Summary: First of all, we find communication with the owner or "manager to be of paramount importance and owner Jill deserves 5Stars for her complete and most timely response to all inquiries we made to her, no matter how inconsequential.The property itself was as expressed in the listing and better. It was very apparent that there was a great deal of thought into laying out, labeling and directions for all aspects of the comfort for our stay. The physical property was in pristine condition, and the master suite was like a spa. Kudos to Jill for the attention to detail and very successfully anticipating needs of the renter making the experience tops from start to finish. If we have occasion to return to the area, this property will be the first one for which we check availability.
