Thank you for the feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Yes, the property is a double lot so there is plenty of room for kids to play in the yard.

Thank you for the kind words, Adam, and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay! We agree the sunsets are amazing and the family of ducks are entertaining.
