We've stayed at Melanie's place twice. Last year at Christmas time and this year in August. Both times, we were very happy with our accommodations. Most everything you need is easily available. Melanie is very easy to deal with. The house was nice and warm during our winter visit and nice and cool during our summer visit. The only thing I miss is having a washer and dryer available onsite when you're staying for a longer period of time. There are many things within easy walking distance of the house. Melanie was happy to provide info about a nearby laundromat. We plan on booking with her when we make our Christmas 2018 plans.
