We rented the home with a special goal in mind, and that was to host a small family birthday party for our 91 year old mom that has many relatives in the area. The large dining area, has 8 seats, the living room, 9 seats with 6 of those reclining. 4 spacious bedrooms. Outdoors had more seating than I could count. We enjoyed our stay and Bill Lord, the host, was quick to respond to a few questions I had during our stay.
