Did a Friday to Monday stay. 14 adults. it was a big place and we didn’t feel on top of each other at all. The house is Beautiful! and the owner responded fairly quickly when I asked him questions. Really appreciate his time and kindness. We were able to fit 7 cars in the drive way and one in the garage. we loved it so much we plan on coming back again in the future. thank you so much!!!
