Karen was responsive, kind, and pleasant. The space was open concept which worked out perfectly to keep an eye on the kids in the playpen while we cooked. The home was clean and spacious, my only note would be if you’re traveling with teens like we were there aren’t many TV’s for them to hook up a gaming system to. There were many games on the premise and a hot tub. So this spaces definitely has its perks. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic home

We did another ladies weekend here, and we plan to go back again next year! House is spacious, clean, has everything we need other than the food, and the hot tub was icing on the cake! It is very echoing in the upstairs, if people are downstairs, so just bring a noise machine if that bothers you. We loved our stay here, and plan to make this a yearly trip!
