This house was amazing!!! Had it for a guys weekend in bourbon country and everyone having their own bed was amazing. The house is perfect for hosting large groups. The host was extremely communicative and was able to answer any question I had almost immediately
The house was very well maintained and had everything needed to have a great time. Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their time there. Basement is a bit cold but that is to be expected in the winter. Definitely would come back in the warmer months.
