The house is beautiful and the outside pool area is amazing. We spent many hours on the pool deck enjoying the birds and peaceful vibe. The host even had a Christmas tree for our holiday stay. Great property and we would definitely book again.

It was very pet friendly with a fenced in yard. The house is open and spacious and was very clean and well stocked. We came to see family that live in the area. The property was easy to get to well-maintained and comfortable.

The place was amazing! It was much bigger than expected. Lots of room in the common spaces. The pool was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved playing the jumbo connect four game. I would definitely stay there again! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
