Mark was an amazing host. Always went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. We weren't familiar with the area, but Mark was always really friendly, open to showing us around and helping us when we needed. He always treated us really well and was a great person to be around, which just added to the great experience we had. The house was beautiful and full of history, plus had multiple shared spaces that were great for socializing with other guests, but also offered plenty of privacy. We loved the stay. Really can't recommend this place enough.
