Nice home for our extended family to stay over Thanksgiving holiday-comfortably slept 9 people. Lots of room to spread out. The back deck and outdoor area was amazing. My family loved the quietness of the neighborhood.

The house was gorgeous and spacious. But more important than that, the hosts were readily available to answer questions from the time of booking until we left and were super flexible. They reached out a few days in advance to make sure the beds/furniture would be arranged the way we needed before we arrived. An all-around great experience!

Amazing getaway!!

From the beginning of the booking process to walking out the door at the end of the week the property owner was very professional. The house was very warm and welcoming when you first walk in. It had more than enough room to accommodate our family of 8 and then family that came to visit as well. We have already talked about heading back next year.
