Thanksgiving away from home

The house is a nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath home that was great. Went to spend Thanksgiving with our youngest daughter who had to work on Thanksgiving Day so we spent time with our daughter and it was great. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and everything was close. Would recommend this rental. The host was awesome.
