Beautiful Home and Location

Our stay was wonderful. The communication when needed was quick and resulted in us having a fantastic stay with the owners providing us with anything we needed! Definitely recommend. The property is beautiful with a wonderful back yard the kids played in and the house was spacious enough for our 12 guests! (8 of which were children under the age of 11!)

Great for a larger family

This is such a lovely place. The location is out a little ways but so very beautiful. The place is spacious and clean. Loved the baby grand piano!!! Also, love the Bible verses all over. There are only two little suggestions I would have to improve things. 1 - switch the mattresses on the bunk beds from camp mattresses to real ones. The kids were pretty uncomfortable. 2 - A small complimentary packet of coffee

Family stay

Overall fantastic stay. Clean, roomy, plenty of towels and blankets. The 3 grand boys enjoyed ping pong, basketball and bunk beds. The 3 baby girls slept very comfortably in bunk beds next to the parents. Lovely bathrooms. Only hick up..grill was not in much shape to grill as expected. We substituted with very nice oven. There was a small child crying downstairs but considering we had 3 tiny cryers of our own, it was perfect. Hope our boys walking back and forth didn't disturb downstairs owners to badly. :)
