Family vacation
A beautiful home that is spacious and nicely decorated, it was perfect for our 3 generation family vacation. The beds were comfortable and linens quite nice. The living and dining rooms were large with plenty of comfortable seating. Each member of our family had a very enjoyable time and we all loved the back deck and fire pit seating area.
