Amazing Property

The property was just as advertised plus some. Brittany made it so easy to book the home and check in. If we come back to the area we will booking this home again. All the small items that are provided for the just in case you forgot something is extremely thoughtful and some of the items came in handy. A small example is my stepdaughter cut herself and we didn't have anything with us, but there were items at the home for us to use to clean and bandage her up. Just an amazing experience and a beautiful home. Very family oriented. Thanks for making it such a memorable time for our family. The Haas, Gamble, and Bernstein families.
