Spacious enough for 6 adults
We were very comfortable in the home! It was very clean. My only critique is the dated bathrooms. They were fine but need updating.

It was a nice roomy place. Only problems were the bad smell of the water in the showers and the fire being so close to the property. Other then that it was a good.
