Beautiful home and wonderful host!! Rented the home for my son’s wedding at Bella Rouge venue for our family to be close to the venue! The grandkids enjoyed playing in the beautiful yard! Plenty of room for our 6 adults & 2 kids! Would definitely recommend this home & host!!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
This home made me and my family feel like we were staying at grandma's house. It's one thing for a home to be old, but popcorn ceilings old is too much. This home could possibly be great if some serious updating and renovations were done. In its condition, it is definitely not a "Charming Retreat". I couldn't wait to get out of there.
