The Peace and quit - as well as the comfort and cleanliness of the house. I LOVED the art in house. Furthermore, Tash was an Awesome Hostess! She even drove out late at our first night, when we were getting lost, to ensure we were at the right accommodation! Thank You sooo much Tash for All you did to make our stay fun and comfortable!
