Updates: The home is currently undergoing a few exterior and interior updates and may look aesthetically different (but better!) than the current posted photos.

Also, VRBO recently changed their fee structure-shifting the service fee from guests to hosts. We have had to to adjust our nightly rates accordingly to account for this big change. It is not an increase from us. It is simply how this platform is now collecting the service fees.
