Had a blast

The house has 4 suites in the upper level which was able to accommodate our big group. The whole weekend was raining on and off, but our family really enjoyed our stay. We kept busy with cornhole, entertainment inside, hammer and nail game. Very beautiful scenery by the camp fire. The host is super responsive and friendly.
