Pictures don’t even do this place justice!

We stayed for my daughter’s 15th birthday with a few of her friends. This place was plenty big enough for 10 of us, and the pool was so fun! The host was so kind, and even offered to bring us an extension cord when I asked if they had one! I would stay here again anytime!

We had 6 adults, 4 yr old, 2yr old and a 4 month old. Lots of space, TV’s in every room. The kids room had a little secret play area that the girls loved! Very clean, cupboards were labeled in the kitchen and items easy to find. Lots of extras in the kitchen! We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. So convenient to be close to everything. Would stay here again!
