I’d stay again and Russ was great!
This was a pleasant stay and Russ was exceptional on communication and even getting coffee filters to me for the next morning! The air conditioner blowing right over the bed was loud for me and there’s only a sliver of kitchen counter space for meal prep, but the water tasted good and stove worked well - I had what I needed. I loved the location for walking in nature!
