Staying in a beautifully decorated, completely clean, fresh suite made our trip so enjoyable! Three adults and two kids fit wonderfully. We fully used and enjoyed the bbq, kitchen had everything we needed, hot tub, outdoor table and chairs. Inside had great water and shower. Chrissy was in contact with us everytime we needed her. Wow!

Quick Stay

I just needed a bed for the night. Property was easy to find and access, and the suite was clean and had everything I needed. There were a couple of double/queen pull out sofas in the suite that would be perfect for a family.
