We had a wonderful stay at Claire’s place. The house is cozy, clean and well equipped. There’s a lot of thoughts and love put into this place. The location is also convenient, easy drive to the National Park and quick access to many good restaurants. Claire also shared many great tips for navigating around town. We will definitely come back!
