The host is extremely communicative, and addresses all questions quickly. The house is perfect - there is everything a person could want or need in terms of kitchen utensils, and I especially appreciated the fact that there is plenty of silverware that makes meal preparation simple. The furnishings and linens are plentiful, as are the extra touches (i.e. lotions, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, bug spray, lanterns/outside lights, etc.), and the decor is very welcoming. Of course, the host's welcoming dish of sweets was an unexpected and gracious gift to see once we entered the home. Last, but certainly not least, was the very extensive amount of brochures highlighting activities for the area, and if stuck inside, games and activities for all ages were well covered & provided. Pam is an excellent host, and we couldn't have enjoyed our stay more.
