Lance is an amazing host! The house was everything we expected. The girls have a great time and keep them self busy with the game room and the pool. The adults also had a grewt time. Location is perfect and a quite community. A lot of space in the house. We were 3 families staying together and it was never crowded. Rooms are very comfortable and very spacious! Thanks Lance fir hosting us!
