Everything was just as described in the listing - or better! JoAnn and I chatted on the phone a few days before we arrived, so it helped to let her know about our visit. For instance, she asked if we'd be using the dining room - which was perfect for our family - so she had the table ready with a lovely cloth upon our arrival. I happened to ask about a crock pot since my husband likes to cook with them, and, there it was, waiting on the counter.
