We loved sitting out on the little porch but it is by a busy and noisy road. The butterfly gardens were beautiful and the house is easy access to the National Park. HOWEVER, the need to use overly scented detergent and dryer sheets on all linens, towels, blankets, etc. is beyond my comprehension - why not go with a neutral product for those who cannot abide the stench of artificial chemicals. I re-washed my sheets in hot water with no detergent and hung them out to dry and they still reeked, so my sleeping experience absolutely sucked. In special request I asked for no overly scented bedding and that is NOT what I got. AND, Christmas decorations still were everywhere! Why???? For some reason, the host wanted the lights on outside 24/7. Again, Why? What a waste of electricity. Mainly for the heavy disgusting scent of the bedding and towels, I would never recommend this place to anyone.
