Desiree was quick to respond and made the booking easy. She accomodated us with a late checkout time which was key for our large group. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, which made food prep a breeze. The oven, however, turned off in the middle of baking and then would not turn back on again until it cooled completely. Cooking for our large group was frustrating with a faulty oven. We also never could figure out the fireplace. I trust that these things will be resolved, as I reported them to Desiree. Once the appliances are fixed, we'd love to rent this place again. The space was great for entertaining.
