Large bedrooms

Clean. Nice house. Comfortable beds. The only thing I would advise is a child safety issue. The owners could run fence across the back, connecting to the neighbors fences, limiting access to the pond because of the steep drop off. We would book this VRBO again.

Great place for family.

We were visiting family for Thanksgiving and needed a place with enough room for our family. The house was perfect! Lots of room, very clean and well decorated. Hosts were great and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again.
