Ben was a very responsive host. The property was just as described in the posting. I did have a few problems such as i was unable to get the heat working on arrival. While trying to find a nearby hotel room, I was finally able to get the heat working. There were some ants crawling along the kitchen counter but it wasn't a terrible problem. The only thing I did not like about the property is having to ask to be let out of the driveway. I believe the main house was also rented for a video or movie shoot, so it was always some type of activity in the shared space. Overall, my children and I felt really safe!
