Business stay
Overall good stay. Could definitely use some dusting. House is haunted, doors randomly open/close and you can hear footsteps upstairs when no one is there.

Amazing Place
This place was so comfy and relaxing. Only thing I would suggest is that after it rained some, the ramp going to driveway was very slick from and I slipped pretty badly. Everything is good, but I would suggest putting some grip strips or something on it to prevent slips. Other than that the place was great.
