This house was perfect for our family. Enjoyed staying in the area and being close to the Eagle Ridge Resort. Nice to have owners passes for the pool. Quiet area. Very appreciative of the stocked kitchen supplies (pots, pans, coffee pot, etc). We had small kids so we ate in a lot. Didn’t have to share bathrooms which is a major bonus when traveling - usually homes only have 2 bathrooms. This one had 3 bull baths and a half bath.
