Summary: The pictures here are good but they dont really capture just how incredible this place is. You are greeted with the amazing smell of the Ylang Ylang tree as you walk to the door. Once inside you find the charm and the type of rental that makes you never want to leave.The things I look for in a home away from home are all here.The queen-sized master bed was as comfortable as my bed at home so no miserable back pain or lack of sleep. I thi k it is a memory foam type mattress but did not verify.The master shower? Wow! Phenomenal water pressure, huge and 2 heads. Being 6'2", my only complaint of this house is that the heads are a shade low for me, not a deal breaker by any stretch though.The kitchen appliances surpass any that we have ever used. The stove is absolutely amazing.The yard was extremely peaceful and amazingly quiet and relaxing for being in such a busy area. Loved everything about the pool as well.The sheets, towels, soap, shampoo, etc. are first class. Huge, thick towels, sheets that won't let you leave the bed, and pillows that wrap around and complete the snuggle process.The AC was cold, showers were never-ending hot water, and theg do have a Keurig for coffee. Bring your own ice though.I highly recommend and will be staying here again as it is close to everything I need at Bascom Palmer.Fernie was a very oncredibly polite and checking on us without being intrusive at all. Thank you for being such a great host.
