Spacious Farmhouse with Breakfast- Ella’s Place

8/10 Good

"The property was amazing, clean, nicely decorated, the host made accommodations for our change in days, the beds and pillows were very comfortable, I can't say enough good things about this place. The only complaint is that it is listed as having a hot tub and there is no hot tub at this property. We were disappointed because that was one of the main reasons we chose this property. But all in all we had a great time, but for future VRBO renters, just know there is not a hot tub on site."
