The location was perfect. Not a busy area, but plenty to do that’s close to the house. The house was amazing on the inside and out. The garage was our favorite part. The garage did not have A/C, but was a great spot to hang out with all of the games out there. Highly recommend this location for a getaway.

Great Location and Family Set Up

The check in was super easy. The property is laid out in a family friendly way with two bedrooms upstairs and three in a basement/lower level. The kitchen is for the most part well stocked. Lots of pots and pans, dishes, and utensils. It lacked in sharp knives and covered storage dishes would be very useful to hold leftovers. However, the inside of some of the kitchen cupboards and contents need some attention from a cleaning perspective. This goes the same for the garage gathering area in drawers and counters. The beds/pillows were comfortable but would also suggest bringing extra blankets/pillows if you need to use the pullout couches. If these were available we could not find them. The garage/gaming area is so useful and welcomed if you are vacations multigenerational. Allows larger louder groups to be separated from the house.Jen the property manager was great in responding to a few things that came up. In spite of the few suggestions above we would definitely rent the place again.
