Christmas vacay with the grands

Loved everything about this place and will stay here again. Best place we've ever stayed in with cleanliness and comfort as well as very well apportioned with everything and then some. Only negative were the old, dried up dog messes left behind in the backyard.

Nicely decorated

I liked this property but like everything, it wasn't a perfect stay. The thermostat is set. So if your hot or cold, you just have to deal with it. Another negative point, the garage was not accessible. I like parking my car in the garage. It's easier for unloading and privacy. Other than those two issues, the property was 4 stars

Very spacious

It was easy to find. About 20 minutes from our event. Nice big home. Nicely decorated. We only got half a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom so had to buy more after host told us that should be sufficient for 6 ladies 2 nights. ‘Twas not. Lots of appliances and 2 coffee makers, full kitchen lots of blankets. Beds were okay. Everything worked well. Everything looked nice and clean except the bathroom smelled terricle. Removed the paper strip off the toilet and realized someone had left the toilet used and unflushed for some time. Flushed, then problem solved. Door Access code is long and you have to be quick to enter it or it times out but otherwise works fine. Neat little cookie cutter neighborhood very quiet and felt safe. Room for a couple of cars in the driveway and plenty of street parking available. I’d stay again
