We had a large group stay here, and it worked out great. The space was exactly what we needed—plenty of room for everyone to spread out but still come together comfortably. The home was clean, well-maintained, and stocked with the essentials. Communication with the host was smooth, and everything was as expected. Overall, a really solid spot for a group stay, and we’d definitely consider coming back.
