    "From the owner: “I’m glad this guest enjoyed the home’s spacious layout and convenient location for fishing the PM River. The cracked kitchen tiles are being repaired, and I’m working on adding guest access to laundry facilities in the utility room. I appreciate the helpful suggestions and remain committed to keeping the home comfortable and well-maintained for future stays.”
