We had a great weekend in this house! It was equipped with everything we could possibly need which made our stay even better. We were in town for a wedding and this house was literally home away from home. Thank you for being a great host!!

Provides for your every need
Lots of space! Rooms are well decorated and comfortable. Very clean. So many extras provided- hot tub and sauna- with plentiful towels and robes, games, puzzles. Outdoor games, fire pit. Well equipped kitchen. We saw bikes and helmets, corn hole boards, etc that we didn’t have time to use! Wish we would have planned to stay longer.

Truly a Relaxing Stay
The house was clean and well stocked with everything that we needed. It was close to enough stuff to keep us entertained. But mostly the hot tub and sauna were key to having such an enjoyable and relaxing weekend. We've already discussed planning a summer trip here! Thanks so much!
