The stay was amazing and my Dad said “I’m definitely gonna book here again, I really liked this,” That means a lot cause he is hard to please sometimes. It was just as the pictures and the host stayed connected and responsive every time I sent a message.

Remember it’s a pet friendly home so if your allergies are sensitive this isn’t the home for you. Other than that the home was great and in proximity of everything we needed.

Check in was extremely easy. Communication from the property manager was exceptional. The property was very well maintained and clean. My family and I felt safe while staying there. The rooms were large and well decorated. We had plenty of space for our family of 4. If ever in the area again we would definitely stay there again. We highly recommend using this property.
