A Perfect Family Reunion

We hosted our daughter's wedding nearby and rented this vrbo for cousins and friends so they could be together. It was absolutely perfect! House was immaculate and nicely decorated. The rooms were spacious so everyone spent time together visiting. Wish we stayed longer! Property manager is kind and truly cared about our visit. Thank you!
