Perfect family getaway!

This house was huge! Perfect for a family of 6, or more. Very close to town, but also far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. The host was very helpful and great to communicate with. We will definitely be back!

Excellent amenities!

They have thought about everything! We had twin infants who took advantage of the nursery with crib and changing table. Older grandsons played in the play room. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, coffee bar!
