Our host was very responsive and welcomed us with a bottle of wine. The house was exactly as described. It was huge with comfortable beds throughout. It slept the 8 of us easily. It is stocked with everything you need in the kitchen in terms of plates and silverware and pots and pans. The large deck was a great place for us to hang out with family. The location is in a quiet neighborhood. It was just perfect for our weekend with our NY kids and grandkids. I recommend it without reservation.
