Outstanding stay! We were there for the passing of a family member. The house was large enough for my family without us being on top of one another. It allowed us to have one less worry. We will definitely book for our next visit in ithe summer.

had a few minor issues with interior doors not latching, with a shower door and the pool. I messaged Karen and they fixed it all. She communicated promptly and we appreciated that

The house is very roomy for a large gathering. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The neighborhood was very quiet. The game room and big screen TV's kept guests entertained. The one downside was that the BBQ was a flat top. We were expecting a grill. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place.

Excellent home and property pictures accurately described home on website. The house is nestled in a well established residential neighborhood with beautiful large trees and a park near by to enjoy. I was very pleased with the house unique, elegant and well decorated rooms. The Host was fantastic and available to assist as needed. We had 12 guests, all from out of State to celebrate a 70th birthday. They were well pleased. We had plenty of space to accommodate my large gathering for 3 days and thank the host for allowing us to have our celebration in this lovely, warm home. I only regret having to leave. I certainly plan to come back for future events.Thanks again
