Awesome view and lots of wildlife
As we arrived our door code would not work. After communication with office we received a new one. That was scary upon arrival with 2 little kids ready to get in from excitement. Overall We had a great stay! We saw so much wild life we loved it. Great location to all attractions. Our only other big issue was the pool sticks and X Box controllers. Only one pool stick had a tip and the one with a tip was previously broke and repaired crocked. The controllers needed batteries. Yikes!! This was a big bust for us as the pool table especially was a draw to stay. The house had everything else for comfort! We would stay again but certainly clarify these things are repaired.

This home was very cozy and in a super peaceful neighborhood, we saw wildlife every night from the deck and got to spend a lot of time together playing in the basement, playing board games, and watching movies! Overall awesome home to stay in and we will definitely be back!
