Very nice house with everything you'd need

The house was cozy and comfortable with everything we needed. We were especially happy with the downstairs family room so our kids had a place to hang out while the adults chatted and read upstairs. We had a little hike in the Children's Woods adjacent to the property and had a great meal at a nearby tap room.
