The house was very nice and clean, with a perfect layout for my family. I noted several items for the management team. The management team was very responsive to my observations.

Great location for family gathering. 4 generations came together for a wedding and were able to stay together. Main floor bed and bath were perfect for the grandparents with accessibility concerns. Host provided a high chair/pack n play for the infant. Plenty of room to prepare meals and talk. Close to running trails. Great stay!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled the location and accommodations worked well for your family gathering and that the amenities were helpful. We’re glad you enjoyed the space and proximity to running trails. We hope to host you again!
The house was immaculate! Everything was labeled. The quality of the furnishings, linens and kitchen appliances/utensils was first class! Wonderful backyard to relax. Perfect for 6 adults each with private bathroom.
The only negative was that it was difficult to access the wifi. It was in and out and then asked for too much personal info. We ended up using our data service.
