The house was varry clean and had all we need to make it feel like home away from home.
My kids loved it, and so did are dog. The yard was fully fenced in so my dog could run around and play.
Jessica was verry nice and under standing, and she alwas got back to me if i had any questions.
We had a great time very much recommended, we are hoping to stay there again sometime.
