My family enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday here while our home is under construction. We had every thing we needed to make our holiday memorable! The home is absolutely beautiful and inviting for even the little ones! The host was awesome, he answered every question quickly which made the stay even better. I would recommend this property and definitely will stay here again to take advantage of the rooftop entertainment area.
