The house and communication was perfect for my family of 6. We stayed with our in-laws, 2 children, both under ages of ten. The ground floor was a game room / bedroom and den with additional TV, so easy for adults to enjoy main level adult programming and send kids downstairs to be kids and do what they do. Plenty of room for your pup to free roam, including on decks, pending they’re behaved enough not to sprint off. Ours is a pack dog. Such a nice surprise to arrive to the fully stocked snack bar with chips, grab n go cookies, and a case of water. Our family is a big water family, so made our day to discover that. The decorations are super cute and the pictures of the kitchen don’t do it justice. Very well laid out and open floor plan. Loved having my cup of joe every AM on the mid deck watching the serene tree top backdrop, squirrel watching and listening to the birds. The basket of blankets was a nice touch to cozy up with and they even went all out with seasonal decor, runners, rugs, placemats (we notice the details). Would highly recommend this listing. Almost forgot, the distance to EVERYTHING couldn’t be better. Less than 5 min drives to the Lake, Arrowhead Village, and Skypark at Santa’s village. All three of which we visited. They had a beautiful back deck and I wish we would have had the opportunity to take advantage of the outdoor firepit there, but it’s a lunch spot this time of year, too cold in AM / PM and we were offsite doing activities for our lunch. Always next year! Thanks for the fantastic visit!
