I cannot say enough good things about this property and the host! The property was exactly as described, and was absolutely perfect for our group of 12. Everyone had enough room, we were not crammed on top of each other, and there was so much to do! The host had seriously thought of everything. There was not one thing we needed that was not provided at the property. Games, every kitchen utensil you could think of, wonderful fire pit, stand up paddle boards, you name it! There was an abundance of towels, check-in process was easy, and the host was extremely responsive! The property is located in a peaceful, quiet area. I would 100% stay here again! Thank you so much to the host for sharing their little slice of heaven with our family!

The house was a dream for our two young families that included three preschoolers. They found it to be spacious, beautifully decorated, and very clean. The highlight for them was the unique toy room, a real plus.
