Our family of three had a great two-day stay. Jamie was a friendly, helpful host and the house was very comfortable and clean. It had everything we could possibly need. We felt like we were staying at a friend's house, and hope we can return again sometime soon!

Great house!

Highly recommend this house! It’s super clean, spacious, fantastic amenities… seemed much bigger than we expected with large rooms. Plenty of places to relax and or connect with each other (sun porch, living room, dining room, patio, great yard, etc.) Thanks for a fantastic place for our family to gather!

Lovely home!

We very much enjoyed this lovely home and would highly recommend it. We enjoyed hanging out in the sunny dining room, the screened in porch and the patio. It is probably one of the best set up vacation homes we have ever stayed in; we were there for six days and were able to cook everything we wanted to and did many of the puzzles!

Decompress Vacation

This is the second time I've stayed at this location. It is quiet and offers you the feeling of being secluded but yet you are surrounded by activity close buy. I love this house and, of course, Jamie for giving us the opportunity to stay again.
