My family and I had a great stay at The Porch. The house was perfect for accommodating us and the yard/fire pit were a nice place to spend the evenings together.

Lots of outlets and USB plugs every room!
Loved having central air downstairs and window units in each upstairs bedrooms. Beds were comfortable
Large yard with fire pit was perfect!
Wish kitchen was larger. It was well stocked with everything except a full pot coffee make
The kitchen was very well stocked with anything you might need to cook. Fridge was nice and big. Loved the bar space for kids to sit and to use as extra counter space. Loved power strips for plenty of outlets.Back yard was very private and we enjoyed the fire pit.Location is good. One complaint was just the uneven flooring from room to room.

A+ for location, front porch, yard with fire pit. We had a rain day so the games came in handy. Comfortable beds and charging stations in every room! Kitchen had everything you need except a coffee maker with big pot. (Only had a Kurig) Had to purchase a big pot at Walmart. Wish the kitchen was bigger with more counter space. Popcorn room lightbulb out and that was the only light in that room. We would definitely stay here again
