All the necessities were there: Enough dishes (and then some) for all day long for eight of us, all the cooking equipment you could want, extra toiletries for those who forgot them (ahem), lots of storage space, washer/dryer, plenty of room to spread out, lots of sleeping options, extra towels and bedding, and little instructional signs everywhere so all our questions were easily answered.
And then so many little extras that really made us feel comfortable and cared for: Fresh-baked cookies, a bottle of wine, lots of outdoor space, a beautiful view, two TVs (!), tons of videos and board games, hot tub, a dining table we could all fit around, extra chairs ...
Plus! -- when we had an issue with the Internet connection, Cheryl was ON IT and it was fixed right away.
The house was spotless and comfortable, the host was responsive, helpful, and kind, and everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you!
