Summary: The host was fantastic. Very responsive during the reservation process and during our stay. The home is EXTREMELY clean and there are instructions and guides to help you in the home. The home is on a dead end street. So think quiet and relaxing. The house has a gym, incredible coffee and espresso maker, slushee maker and foot massager. The kitchen is better stocked with kitchen cooking ware and tools than my home. We made omelettes with the fresh chicken eggs! Much better than the Quality Inn free breakfast. We did not use the hottub or outdoor fire out, but the set up was nice and all looked in good condition. We just did not have enough time.And the chickens are a joy. We had fun just watching them run around in their coop. I highly recommend the Homestead. You won’t be let down.
