The house was exceptionally clean upon arrival and had everything you needed to make your stay comfortable and fun. We will definitely stay here again. The only negative is that Browns road can get very busy over Christmas. Some pruning of the trees by the driveways would be helpful.
We went there for a family weekend away, house was great, plenty of outdoor play area for the kids and the swim spa was the perfect addition to the house especially for the cooler weather. Would definitely stay here again!!
