The house was very roomy and comfortable, it felt like home away from home. The hostess is over the top excellent and willing to accommodate your specific needs. She knew we had travelled such a long distance and let us have the house early to rest

The host family was wonderful! They communicated well from day one prior to check in. My family had plenty of space to enjoy themselves! The screened in back patio was my grandmothers favorite spot all 3 days. The home is beautiful. We had children from age 3-18 and everyone was happy! Any questions we had were always responded to in a timely manner! We would definitely book again.
