Loved our stay! The upstairs kitchen and living rooms were open to each other which worked well for us. Having a bedroom downstairs was nice, too, for those who had to go to the bathroom during the night. The game room was such an added bonus! The house was clean and well furnished. Would recommend staying there!!

We were in town visiting family near by and this home was perfect for us! It was so clean and spacious. Everything was labeled and easy to find. They have so many little touches you don’t often find in a VRBO that made our stay even more comfortable. The kids loved the game room and all of the games and puzzles they have. The back yard is beautiful! The first night we were hearing traffic and the owner even had a fan delivered to help with that and to keep us cool on a warmer night. Very responsive owners.
