It was just perfect for us. It was less than 2 miles from where our son and his wife live, so that was our focus. The house was clean and pool was refreshing. Quiet neighborhood. Great fenced yard for our little 10lb MillieMay. The drive to anywhere wasn't bad either, annd had some nice restaurants near by. And Justin was awesome to work with. We will be making this our once a year or more place to stay. Thanks Justin!!

Great Experience

We enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home Everything was nice and clean the location was close to everything. We love that area. We hope to come back next year. We love that we got to bring our two German Shepherds with us the fee was so reasonable for them to stay. It makes having them with us on vacation more enjoyable. Only complaint was the pits and pans and not enough dishes . Other than that it was just wonderful. I can understand not having enough or right Dixie pans some people take things and it get expensive replacing them. I appreciate you letting us stay in your home the pool was just gorgeous and so relaxing our favorite place at the house.
