The host made us feel very welcome with the room set up and the goodie baskets! We were also fortunate to have communication from Matt to let us know that we would have the house to ourselves for the duration of our stay. The neighborhood was nice and we even took an evening walk one evening around the loop. There is a connecting sidewalk to the main road and close to a large park, but when there is so much else to do we just didn't get a chance to explore it for ourselves. The house has a hot tub out back and is very secluded! A plus and thumbs up!
