The area was very quiet with quick access to pretty much anything you would need store wise. The house was very nice and layout was great. The only two issues I had were, the door in the game room was in bad shape. It had a major gap between the door and the frame. I believe that’s why we had a few large visitors while we were there. The gas fire pit didn’t work the night we wanted to use it. I didn’t call about it and I didn’t think it was a major issue but, it was literally the only evening we were there that didn’t have heavy rain. Overall, the place was very nice and I would highly recommend any family or larger group stay here.
