The owner is prompt in dealing any minor issues and is very helpful and friendly. I have stayed in this house many times over the last several years and hopefully will be able to stay here again in the future. I feel at home in this house and also in the beautiful hospitable, and friendly Roundstone. Thank you Sean Burke for offering your lovely property.
