Family Getaway

Lovely location and home. Close to everything, clean and well appointed. Appreciated the simplified checkout checklist. We didn’t have children in our group but would be a great place to bring kids. Saw lots of wildlife when we drove in and out. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Perfect young family stay

This location was perfect for a young family. My daughter enjoyed the park, just a 2 minute walk down the road. Grocery stores and amenities are close by, and driving to downtown is an easy 25 - 30 minute drive, and honestly having that space away from the bustle made our trip so relaxing. The beds were comfortable and Kim answered all of my questions. We’ll definitely be staying again!
