This is an amazing property! We used it for a 20 person family reunion, and everyone was very comfortable and had their own space. Sandy is welcoming, accommodating, and accessible. We greatly appreciated the breakfast that Sandy cooked each morning. This property is better than the pictures and listing show, all 20 of us highly recommend.
