Nice clean home, perfect for entertaining
The property exceeded my expectations. The pictures are true to real life. The family loved gathering here. The infinity game table was fun also. I would stay here again.
Everything was amazing for a quick girls weekend! We loved the flexibility of all being able to read or watch a movie on the big couch, be outside by the fire pit, or lounge by the pool. It was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend!
Excellent property. Clean and beautifully decorated. Pool and hot tub were perfect for entertaining kids and adults alike during downtime from our activities.
This property was very nice! Very clean! The pool and hot tub worked great. The owners were very attentive to any messages I sent. Will definitely be staying again when the pool opens up! Thank you for a great local spot that felt like a getaway.
The house was just as pictured! It was in a cute neighborhood, and stocked with everything you might need. Kim was fantastic when we had questions. We enjoyed our stay and would love to return!

Welcoming spacious property packed with things to do for all! Kudos to our host as they absolutely thought of everything. Full kitchen and the most comfortable beds ever! Will definitely be back next time we are in the area!
