This property was perfect for our needs. The description was exactly as it presented and the location was perfect. Was great to be able to have all the regular household amenities as we were there for a basketball tournament and needed to be able to wash and prepare meals.I will definitely be checking the availability of this property if we come back for next years tournament.

Nice location

Great location as we were there for a basketball carnival. The home/beds were comfortable and it was a peaceful location also. A few things needing attention- the oven/rangehood were difficult to start needing a lighter. There was no dryer, as listed and the shower was slow and difficult to use.
