Bridge Run Get Together
Property is well taken care of and I as exactly as described in posting. With a large group of adults, having separate bedrooms and bathrooms was fantastic. Reviews concerning road noise were accurate but white noise machines were in most rooms. Shared outdoor common area was a real hit.

So much fun!
The property was great and had a great location. It was convenient to walk everywhere or a short Uber ride! We rented both units and everyone had enough space and their own room. Would definitely get again. However, it is close to the freeway and a bit loud but didn’t effect our time! The checkout was awesome and we didn’t have to do much which made it a true VACATION!
