Awesome house!

Great house to stay in the night before our wedding. I stayed here with my groomsmen before my wedding and got ready here in the morning. The house is awesome, very clean with large living spaces. Lots of beds for everyone and comfortable beds. The backyard is awesome too.

Just what we needed!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Paul was a gracious host and was very accommodating towards our needs. We all had to fly in last minute to attend a family members funeral, and it accommodated a lot of family members and was a great place to come home to and enjoy each others company. I would highly recommend this place.
