Great place to stay. We had 4 golfers staying there for a long weekend. Only one small issue with the garage screen door. It needs to be repaired so it will work properly. Other than that, nice place!

Perfect location and great house

The location of this house was perfect right in the middle of everything we wanted to do, it was private, everything was clean and organized. All of the games in the garage was amazing. Best location I've stayed at.
