This place was amazing! Kathleen left my family snacks and water upon our arrival. She was very responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed the hot tub and fishing right outside the house. The rooms were clean and well stocked with bathroom supplies and more than enough towels. The kitchen was amazing as well! Stainless steel cookware, spices, and enough dishes to host everyone. Thank you for the amazing stay!!
