We were a party of 6 and we enjoyed everything from the moment we pulled up. All the comfort of home with all the things you could think of in the kitchen and beyond. Comfortable beds and ample space for everyone to spread out. Jen is amazing and very communicative. Promise you won’t be disappointed.
