Awesome place to stay at, close to everything and quiet neighborhood. Amazing kitchen and is maintained very well. Wont be the last time vacationing here, this will be my go to place.
This was a perfect property for our family. We had our adult sons and their wives with us. We were out all day and came back to play games and watch movies at night. The house was very clean and comfortable. thank you for a great stay!
