Summary: Had an enjoyable stay. The hosts were responsive and even shared alerts regarding impending weather in the area (it was awesome to have access to a gas stove should electricity go out!). Ample parking with clear instructions. The kitchen even has an electric kettle - epic for an avid tea drinker like myself. The hosts also ask for feedback to improve the experience. Feedback included a curtain for the front window, dusting/cleaning again prior to a rental, and providing food storage.
