This home is stocked with everything you need! We had 12 women and we had an amazing time. The bedrooms and beds are comfy, the kitchen was fully stocked, the bathrooms have everything you need. The outside area is really nice. It was a bit cold out but if you enjoy a fire they have all you need for that also. Would totally recommend anyone to stay here.
